Magic Tate Ball
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
Magic Tate Ball reveals the hidden connections between art and your everyday life!
Shake your phone day or night, anywhere in the world, and the app’s clever search algorithm will present you with the most relevant artwork from Tate’s archive. It uses your GPS location, the date, time of day, weather, temperature and background noise to match an artwork to that unique moment in time.
With artworks from Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet and many more, Magic Tate Ball brings you a new way of looking at art, giving you the Tate on tap!
Each artwork comes with a funny or facty Twitter-sized write-up. If it's a sunny day you might share in Constable's appreciation of the great British landscape, or the rain might coax 'The Snail' by Matisse out of his shell. At lunch time you might find out why fat, and felt, are so important in Beuys's work, or a noisy after work drink might lead to Georg Baselitz explaining why he made a piece with a chainsaw.
Take your Magic Tate Ball to Tate Modern and you will also unlock a super secret bonus module...
Magic Tate Ball is yours to shake, what artwork will this moment make?
