Olga is presenting artstream, her art project on how to improve museum experience through the cunning use of mobile technologies and web2.0.
Basically the idea is that you can comment and “fav” pieces of the exhibtion, see extra elements like video interview with the artist and social functions like audio comments from other people.
Then you can switch to offline mode, where you can re-organize the experience, managing contacts, comments and so on.
Personally I think this would be quite cool an application, bringing actual social power to museum consumption, which is something that usually ends with the end of the visit itself, and is bound to be synchronous. Actually some work in this direction can already be seen at the V&A for example (with podcasts and community events)... yet another potential evidence that this is a good path.
Oh, and it makes use of shared google calendars :D
