Podcasts Remix MoMa

The New York Times writes about a homemade audio guide for the Museum of Modern Art, MoMa. It's done by a Professor and his students, and is downloadable as a Podcast from their website.

They describe it as a way of "remix MoMa". By doing this they offer art-lovers an alternative way of experiencing the museum with a blend of irony and pop-music.

Being an art lover, I can really see the use for this.

First, It's to often the speaker voices are boring and don't bring anything to the exhibition. Second, coming from a Sweden it's rare to have any local language audio guides when travelling. With podcasting you could get the audio guides translated into different languages, downloadable from the Internet.

Blogs, podcasting and vblogs are still in its early days, but it amazes me how creative people are. Let A Thousand Flowers Bloom.
