Art Intelligence Launches Comprehensive Keith Haring iPad App in 2013
In May 2013, Art Intelligence unveiled an iPad 2 application focused on Keith Haring. Curator Bridget L. Goodbody characterizes it as a 'visual Wikipedia on steroids,' showcasing high-resolution images of Haring's artwork in chronological order, searchable by categories such as 'life,' 'art,' and 'world.' The app features a virtual library filled with photography, video, and art, reviving the 1980s art movement. A 'Connections' section categorizes themes like 'Africa' and 'AIDS,' while 'Resources' provides links to relevant films, music, and literature. It highlights Haring's subway drawings from the early 1980s, his 1986 Pop Shop, and the mural project with Chicago public schools in 1989. The 'Conversations' section allows for user discussions, although it had limited activity at launch.
