iPads + Women Pop Artists = ?

At the recent Seductive Subversion exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, the organizers placed iPads throughout the gallery that displayed wiki pages for each of the included artists. A very cool idea, but a little disappointing that the only material available on the devices was static content. So, other than the device itself, the experience is about the same as a typical brochure / catalogue or wall signage. Nothing interactive or social was included – although one of the more interesting insights coming out of the project was the fact that many visitors browsed on the devices in pairs or groups. Maybe next time they’ll be more ambitious?
