    Exactly.  I was overstating it by saying "within 10 years," but any form of electrical/software device is orders of magnitude less permanent than traditional art.

     

    But perhaps "permanent" in this context just means they won't rotate it out of their display in a few months or weeks.  Presumably it doesn't mean it will be literally on public display forever.

    On that list, I could only agree with Zappa.

    Bob Dylan had a major impact on music, but I find him repetitively annoying.

    Zep is good if you're wasted, kinda like SNL. Otherwise, often imitated (back before hip hop killed rock 'n roll), never equalled, but kinda pretentious.

    i like techno and bluegrass, go figure.

    Your opinion and mileage may vary. As I recall, SJ idolized Dylan.

    Really? Not Reeves, not Simone, not Cohen, not Keita, not Mitchell? Ok...

    Good techno and good bluegrass are great, but all too rare.

    I imagine they'll eventually ask for (and might receive) the source code, allowing the app to survive as a piece of history forever if the money is there to keep porting it. If not, they will have to display videos of it eventually.

    Good fit there: MoMA is about as overrated as Björk.

    Examples of what you consider fine art and great music?

    Oh, I did not mean to offend. Just expressing an opinion.

    I prefer musicians and bands that actually had great artistry in both their vocals and their compositional skills (not to mention instrumentation), such as (in no particular order) Zappa, Zeppelin, Traffic, Clapton, Joplin, Hendrix, Stevens, Dylan, Mitchell, Tull, Taylor, King, Maal, Toure, CSN, Young, Reeves, Keita, Lema, Simone, Cohen, West..... I could go on.

    WOT??...no PUNK! :no:

    Björk's Biophilia App Will Be Added to Curriculum in Select European Schools

    As part of the Biophilia Educational Programme

    Quote:


    The Biophilia Educational Programme, an educational protocol that utilizes Björk's 2011 science-and-music-based app/album, will soon be integrated into the curricula of several European schools, Exclaim reports.

     

    According to the program's website, Björk has collaborated with researchers and Scandinavian educators to further develop the Biophilia Educational Programme, which seeks to "inspire children to explore their own creativity, and to learn about music and science through new technologies".

     

    The curriculum is designed around use of the Biophilia app, which uses screen technology to link lessons on music and science. It is intended for use by children between the ages of 8 and 15, and has previously been used experimentally at schools in Paris, Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires, though there are no reports of which specific schools will be initiating the program at this time.

    I remember tat Bjork was doing all sorts of innovative stuff with QuickTime back in the days when QTi (QuickTime Interactive) was available. With apps such as LiveStage Pro, they would make very creative use of the QTX scripting language undergirding QuickTime. Alas, that stuff is no more.

    Some of that stuff is still viewable using QuickTime 7.  That is, if you can find any  of it.

    Could be MoMA paid a lot more since it's music played in a public place!

     

    Depending on legislation and User License.
