Interacting with Philip IV, Restored

Philip IV, Restored – Interactive Feature – NYTimes.com.

After technical studies and a yearlong restoration, curators and conservators at the Metropolitan Museum of Art now believe that a full-length portrait of Philip IV that has been in the Met’s collection since 1914 is by Velázquez and not his workshop. The attribution reverses a finding made in 1973 when museum officials downgraded this portrait, along with 299 other old master paintings, saying they were either by the artist’s workshop or a follower.

the web as exhibition space

I have been thinking a great deal about the under use of the web as an exhibition space—web projects should be like artists books where the web project is the art work and is not just presenting images that look better ‘in the flesh’. I am pushing my students and pushing myself.
So here is my first of what will be a series of web experiments
