Google now collects art: with Street View technology, the Internet Group photographed 17 world famous museums. They have provided for the virtual tours of the Art Project Google more than 1000 photos of paintings and objects. Bad news for the art-credit course: To visit the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, one of the largest art museums in the world is no longer required study trip.
Google invites you to the virtual museum tour. For the new site "Art Project" Group exhibition rooms with street view cameras has photographed. Sun is "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli (see photo gallery) with high resolution in the living room and classroom. For the launch of Google Art Project can visit virtually 17 known museums, including the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin and the Hermitage in St.
Petersburg. A total of 385 rooms were digitized with the Street View technology. The process goes with quite pixelated resolution but only for a first impression. Zooms to get much closer to an oil painting, blurring the image, also suffer interference from light reflections. In addition, the museums have a selection of digital reproductions available, Google has integrated the museum in its browser.
More than 1,000 art works can be viewed in better quality, including paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Peter Paul Rubens, as well as 483 other artists - no pompous gold frame, strict supervision and pay tax at the bag inlet. Cracks in the painting, such as deep furrows The Museum, Google has also photographed a painting with a resolution of about seven billion pixels.
From these 17 works of art still small brush strokes and textures can see that would be seen with the naked eye difficult. The fine cracks of the oil painting "The Merchant Georg Gisze" by Hans Holbein the 15th Century then look as if a bulldozer scraped with his shovel asphalt. The mix of previews and highly detailed reproductions of the museum is to encourage surfers to one day the venerable institutions to pay a real visit.
It is, at least in the official journal. Also, to learn that Google employees, the Art Project, first began their creative time, those 20 percent of working posts for their own ideas. The previously completely ad-free Google-museum experience can be controlled with a clear, simple interface.
Among the more than 1000 registered works can access additional information in English, links on the catalog pages of the museums. It begs the question purely from a user perspective, why are not all such collections to the public. Brooklyn Museum presents works of 94 000 still many museums hesitate to put their collections online: sometimes it simply lack of money for implementation, even the museums are afraid for their business licenses, tickets and postcards.
So many web sites do not offer much more than a selection of small images in the size of a thumbnail, and the current opening times. The digitization is progressing only slowly. But it also goes without Google: Also in November restart Pinakothek in Munich website offers a virtual tour and a few paintings in the collection can be displayed full screen.
A pioneer in the digitization, the Brooklyn Museum in New York that in 2008 began to make its resources available online. At first it was little more than 5,000 objects - today are already 94 000 works of the museum over the Internet is accessible worldwide. The State Museums of Berlin, which include the Old National Gallery, has a total of about four million objects.
Via the Internet, data can get to 80,000 of them. The end of this year, there will then be hundreds of thousands, as part of the European online library Europeana. The project of the European Union was founded in 2008 as an alternative to an Internet search of a large group: Europeana will compete with Google.
In the medium term will contribute the Berlin 800 000 records. Seen in this way contribute the 17 images of Google and the 1000 by the Museums of pictures made available initially as a nice gimmick and demonstration of technical ability. But Google will regularly exhibit such gimmicks services that entire industries upside down.
Art lovers can therefore hope that the virtual collection continues to grow and will find imitators.
