More Dissertations pathways

Art app used to buy and sell art from anything from £100 and up. Does this mean that the horizons of fine art consumers have risen due to the internet?

This article discusses how art has become more accessible to more people through the internet and allows more people to buy and invest in art.

Art is changing and broadening it's audience through the web. The article above describes how new media is changing the face of contemporary art and the audiences it attracts.

How are we going to view art in the future? Will the way we experience art change? This comment has caught my eye-
“In the new digital world I suspect that artforms, artists and cultural organisations will succeed by occupying the liminal space between offline and online, building a compelling presence in both that allows something unexpected to emerge where they meet and blur together.”

Apple iPhone Banned By Advertising Over Misleading Internet Claims


http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/aug/27/apple.apple

The non existence of the iPhone use of flash has started to bite them in the arse! They have been banned by the uk's adverting watchdog for insinuating that you can reach any part of the Internet from the iPhone however as we all know flash is a key part of the Internet that apple has chosen not to integrate into the iPhone.

"You never know which part of the Internet you'll need ... which is why all the parts of the Internet are on the iPhone," ran a voice over.

Apple said that none of the advert content was showing Flash or Java (of which it doesn't support) ans that the iPhone use of Safari is built to open Internet standards.

So what does this mean for Apple? Could this open up the market for Flash applications that we take for granted?
