Hey
Just a quick(ish) one this week because I'm really busy at the moment. You probably are too, so let's get on with it.
"With DX11.Pointcloud intolight created a cutting-edge computational tool for finding meaning in space." What the heck does that even mean? Anyway, the "virtual, location-independent music instrument" a minute into the video looks pretty fancy.

Walking
You can go to Florida to take a virtual stroll through Shakespeare's London, which may or may not appeal depending on where in the world you're reading this.
The NYT's article A Walk Through the Gallery, about the Matisse exhibition at MoMA, is worth a look.
More Digital Culture Survey reaction
A couple of posts from people who were at a recent Nesta event:
Mia Ridge: The state of museum technology
Alyson Fielding: Technology is about people: Nesta’s Digital Culture panel
From that last post and the tweets I saw at the time, it looks like Tate's Ros Lawler had most of the best lines.
Other stuff
