| | Wired News: The State of Digital Art |
 | | The site's Digital Art Study Collection and Gallery 9 is, like the Walker's physical collection, a delicious selection of the obscure and the absurd, the playful and the dour, the linear and the linked, the pretentious and the profound. |
 | | I think three years ago, museums began putting up an image, or 50 images from their collection with some basic text information and that was a big step. |
 | | But now you get to the National Gallery of Art, the National Museum of American Art, the Walker, and the MIA doing this in a database way, so it's not just about a collection of 20 highlights, it's a collection of all 8,000 objects you can get at in ways you're interested in. |
