National Museums Liverpool’s 'Web 2.0' Photocasting Project








A wonderful example of how 'Web 2.0' (a new generation of web services that make use of collaboration, sharing and tagging to create 'social software') can engage new audiences to Art Museums as well as their collections can be revisited by contemporary visions.

National Museums Liverpool recently organized a photocasting project for documenting Liverpool, which has been called “Stewart Bale 2.0". This project is currently an online photographic exhibition and it is based on the collection of photographs by Stewart Bale Ltd. that National Museums Liverpool holds. The organization invited both amateur and professional photographers who use the web service Flickr to recreate the photographs of the mentioned collection.
