Art on Call
Art on Call was funded by an IMLS National Leadership grant to explore the feasibility of cell phone-based interactive voice response (IVR) technology as an alternative to traditional audio tour systems. It contained more than 150 audio segments on 94 works of art, including pieces in the Walker Art Center galleries and Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, films screenings, and architectural projects.
All audio files can be accessed via phone or online, downloaded as a precompiled MP3 audio tour or via a simple browse interface. This same content was incorporated into the Picasso and American Art iPod audio tour. This was the first Walker website to use AJAX for content filtering and delivery.
