I think this is a great way to find art that I would not otherwise be aware of. I was definitely drawn in by the concept of tagging an artwork and how that instantly associates the piece with a larger group of other pieces. Not only did I find particular works due to a tag, but now I can help other people find certain works based on my input.

I'm also struck by the differences in all of our collections. Although we are using art made by other people, we arrange it in a way that is unique to only us as individuals. It's interesting how we can filter information to reflect our personalities. Rob's photo I think is a perfect example of this.

The Brooklyn Museum's utilization of the web is by no means perfect. There can be no substitute for seeing art in person. However, while the mediation of the computer screen is certainly a drawback, I consider it to be a forgivable offense as most people understand that seeing a painting as a five-inch square on a computer screen is not the same as being in the same space as it. What impresses me about this use of Web2.0 is the ease of discovering work that I was previously unaware of. I think the Brooklyn Museum achieved its goal of getting me interested in new work. And there are a couple items that I just might have to check out next time I'm in the area.

I'm realizing that I have a particular fondness for monochromatic/minimalist art.
