Rise of Google Art Project begs the question: Can an online work replace the real thing?

February 23

The recent release of Google Art Project, the web application designed to provide users with high−resolution photos of famous works of art and a street−view−like experience of the world's major art museums, is only the latest in a long line of efforts aimed at digitizing and making public the world's cultural experiences.
