Can ART be experienced on a phone?

Mobile technologies are becoming a must among art museums from all over the world. A huge variety of devices are regularly offered to visitors for an enhanced experience of their on-site visits.
Cell phones, iPods, PDAs, etc. are the very new substitutes of the not so old museum audioguides. Users find some advantages using their own devices: they can use them at any moment and place, in other words: not only in the museum physical space and opening schedule. Besides, museums can save a huge expense in maintenance and updating their technology. Museums only have to provide contents suitable for being downloaded from their websites.
But can these technologies substitute on-site experience? Listen David Lynch's opinion about seeing films on a cell phone and try to remember your own daily experience with art museums.
I personally agree with Lynch's opinion and with Steven Spielberg's dislike about seeing films on the screen of a computer. However, thanks to these alternative ways of experiencing art, sometimes I could have that (incomplete) experience that otherwise never had been possible.

Ya está disponible en internet el vídeo de la presentanción de nuestro proyecto "Museos en Libia 2.0" que se celebró durante el encuentro Inclusiva-net: nuevas dinámicas artísticas en modo 2.0. Aunque en la grabación no se ven las imágenes que fuimos proyectando a lo largo de la exposición oral, podéis consultar y descargar la presentación completa en nuestra página de Slideshare.
Asímismo, para aquellos interesados en indagar en los pormenores del proyecto, os podéis bajar el texto de documentación en la parte inferior derecha de la página de Medialab-Prado, que también estará disponible en inglés a finales de enero de 2008.
Una nota final: no dejéis de consultar la documentación completa del encuentro que se puede descargar por proyectos específicos o en forma de e-book en lo que forma parte de la excelente línea de difusión cultural que está llevando a cabo Medialab-Prado de Madrid. Es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los mejores puntos de encuentro, creación, mediación y dinamización cultural de nuestro país, situado a la mejor escala internacional.
