Food for thought
"Today we are witnessing the early, turbulent days of a revolution as significant as any other in human history. A new medium of human communication is emerging, one that may prove to surpass all previous revolutions - the printing press, the telephone, the television - in its impact on our economic and social life. The computer is expanding from a tool for information management to a tool for communication... enabling a new economy based on the networking of human intelligence... For individuals, organizations, and societies that fall behind, punishment is swift."

Crossing the Red Sea
Visual Arts students might find interest in the conservation work being undertaken to restore Nicolas Poussin's Crossing of the Red Sea. Follow the conservation process through the National Gallery of Victoria's online diary.
Visit MoMA from the comfort of your laptop...
...or perhaps The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.
Art Project allows you to take a virtual tour of thirteen galleries and museums in locales we would normally need a plane ticket to visit.
Art Project employs the same technology that lets you to see your house on google maps. This blogger has recently strolled through the Uffizi Museum in Florence and taken in the detail of Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. On a whim I visited The Metropolitan Museum of Art and took in El Greco's The Death of Socrates.
All without leaving my desk. Its virtually like being there.
