curation apps

I started to look at apps which could benefit the arts not by being arts themselves but helping to facilitate them.

After my talks with Liam Jefferies and Catriona Mcara I started to look around some of their examples to see how and if this was something that was carried out.

A big producer of app like these is the Tate Gallery, they have created quite a number of different apps that allow people to virtually tour exhibitions and ones that improve spaces.

A good example of someone using an app in a gallery space is musician Bjork. In an exhibition in 2015 at the MoMA she used an app which worked like a gallery audio-guide but had visual cues that worked around the space. This was a really interesting use of an app that I had not foreseen.

I did however find that whilst researching these "curation apps" that it was not as big a field as I had thought about and apps hadn't as much utilisation in facilitating the arts as I had once thought.
