Research
- Museum as Process by Carol S. Jeffers, The Journal of Aesthetic Education 2003
- discussing the role of museums not as passive repository of pieces of art but also
- "establishing an <<ideology of aesthetic autonomy [...]>>"
- and that "present <<ideology in material form>>."
- imperial pillages
- uprooting the piece of art out of its context, in particular regarding its historical and geographical origins
- Debord's The Society of the Spectacle and his notions of "spectacle", "commodifying", ...
- "traditional Western theories of knowledge and aesthetics, whose primary focus is upon the individual <<knower as perceiver>>."
- John Dewey's "spectator theory of knowledge"
- Mary Jane Jacob's "process of institutionalization"
- "reconceptualizing the museum, for example, as a free and open space in which diverse groups construct public and personal knowledge through processes of conversation and community. In this alternative, the public actively establishes and fulfills a new kind of educational mission as its museum."
- "What is needed is the free and open space that allows for people to construct and contextualize meanings about art through the community-building process of dialogue."
- "processes, which promote the movement of ideas and discourse among diverse community members, must flow from a constructivist epistemology that usually arises out of a pragmatist philosophy."

To do
- link to http://www.GoogleArtProject.com visited places
- consider
- history museum
- historical places (like Greek ruins)
- write down museum name and date of visits to gather a list of content
- eventually use Museum.Template? to create a page per museum
- ask help from people I have visited museums with
- in particular Lea and Gilbert
- find a proper way to organize the notes made in each place
- example at MOMA NYC, 20th November 2009 (inspired by a packed MOMA and a Tim Burton preview, invitation only)
- the increase of quantity of pieces of art leads to an incapacity to integrate the news and thus require
- better filters
- more scalable, with a more efficient information organization
- social stratification (vernissages, special exhibits, ...)
- creating an "Art for the masses" and free session (first Sunday of each month)
- leading to a different way to experience the artwork, a special context
- Is this what the artist expected? Are those good conditions?
- Can we expect one day to establish the EREOI of a painting? Is it what art auction (like Sothebys) is trying to accomplish?
- Is there an aesthetics asymptote (independently of the progresses of technique) thus perpetually forcing "avant-guarde" to appear unpleasant?
- gather notes from older visits
- life itself can be a piece of art
- in particular the quality of the thinking process
- discussed in Shanghai Pudong park with a Dutch couch surfer
- evolution of the concept of art through history (and also for me)
