Is This Art?
New iphone app “Is This Art?” is the brainchild of Pittsburgh-based contemporary arts center the Mattress Factory, and technology marketing firm Deeplocal.
“Hold your phone up to a work, snap a picture using the app and it will declare whether what you’re looking at is art. Among the one-liners it delivers: “Sister Wendy would not find God in this, therefore THIS IS NOT ART.” Users can then send the image to isthisart.org, where everyone can debate an object’s art-worthiness.”
