Google Art Project Turns Art Appreciation into Content Acquisition
With the release of Google Art Project, millions of people around the world will be able to take a virtual walk through museums they will never be able to set a real foot in. They will do this while reading about Lindsey Lohan's court appearance and lamenting their disappointment with last night's Top Chef elimination to their Facebook friends. The most treasured artifacts of our civilization will be consumed instead of appreciated, and the entire notion of artistic reverie will expire like an old version of iTunes.
