Museum 2.0: Listening to Edward Rothstein
With Arianna Huffington’s recent article “Museums 2.0: What Happens When Great Art Meets New Media?” we’ve seen yet another turn of the wheel that Edward Rothstein started rolling with his New York Times piece “From Picassos to Sarcophagi, Guided by Phone Apps.” Though Rothstein and Huffington have run considerable risk of being dismissed as, let’s say, “elders who just don’t get it,” all the responses I’ve seen, such as those from Nina Simon and my old colleague Shelley Bernstein (Hey, Shelley!), have engaged their criticisms thoughtfully while holding the line that they don’t, in fact, get it.
I’ve been frustrated over the years with Rothstein’s coverage of exhibitions and his lack of interest in anything interactive, but I’d like to suggest he is starting to get it. Appreciating this suggests some formulas for giving people more of what they want.
