I am just so disappointed by many attitudes about computers and the internet. many of the museums do not even want to offer their collections or imagery to the world wide community. many of them will fall behind again. Isn't there an opportunity for a heavy emphasis on globalization and art education world wide for these museums??? as well as public relations that do not cost much and have a much larger audience than the regular ways of pr. of course, one of the problems might be that the imagery is not the same as the original. as a new york times article this summer listed: pixelization of imagery can still be a problem. but then the national gallery in london has been working on a project like this for almost a decade? images are too large for people to download. although the compression technology of 1-100 is already developped. or is it the computer phobia of many of the heads of museums??? many of the heads are still the old school. any comments would be greatly appreciated. markus kruse #################################################################### Markus Kruse The Ohio State University at Newark ART GALLERY 1179 University Drive Newark, Ohio 43055 (614) 366-9369 tel (614) 366-5047 fax [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] ART HOME PAGE: http://www.cgrg.ohio-state.edu/~mkruse/osu.html #####################################################################
