HERE IS NEW YORK is not a conventional gallery show. It is something new, a show tailored to the nature of the event, and to the response it has elicited. The exhibition is subtitled "A Democracy of Photographs" because anyone and everyone who has taken pictures relating to the tragedy was invited to submit their images to the gallery, where they were digitally scanned, printed and displayed on the walls alongside the work of top photojournalists and other professional photographers.

Meine Hypothese ist, dass heutzutage die Möglichkeiten des sogenannten Web 2.0 von Museen respektive ausstellenden Institutionen unterschätzt werden. Folglich wird das Potenzial vieler, freier Kommunikationsmittel nicht ausgeschöpft.13 Demzufolge werde ich mich in meiner Masterthesis mit diesen drei Fragestellung auseinandersetzen: Was ist der State of the Art im Umgang mit dem Web 2.0 und konkret im Umgang mit Social Media für Museen? Wie machen sich das MoMA in New York und die Serpentine Gallery in London diese Social Media-Tools für ihre Kommunikation zu Nutzen? Davon ausgehend, Social Media wäre für Museen relevant, wie ist sodann damit umzugehen und auf was ist zu achten?

[...] ... her audio guide featured something a little more lively. "Now, let's talk about this painting sexually," a man's deep voice said. "What do you see in this painting?"

Specifically, these museum guides are an outgrowth of a recent podcasting trend called "sound seeing," in which people record narrations of their travels - walking on the beach, wandering through the French Quarter - and upload them onto the Internet for others to enjoy. In that spirit, the creators of the unauthorized guides to the Modern have also invited anyone interested to submit his or her own tour for inclusion on the project's Web site, mod.blogs.com/art_mobs.
