INTRODUCTION PACT Analysis

INTRODUCTION

The ART3 (Art Cubed) app for iPhone is a

mini-database for your phone which

focuses on 3D, installation, and sculpture

pieces by Canadian Contemporary Artists.

It is a branch of the web-only Canadian

Contemporary Art Danabase (CCAD), and

while offering much of the same informa-

tion - artists, works, bios, images, it also

offers additional features which improveaccessibility to information, browsing

capabilities, and the possibility of discover-

ing artists and artworks based on personal

preferences. These features will be pre-

sented in the following slide.

ART3 was designed to highlight its own

content and create a consisten feel

between the work it features and the inter-

face. Since it is dealing strictly with 3Dartwork, the entire app has a very

3-Dimensional look - starting with the

gallery-style main menu, to the weighted

browsing screens, and the pedastal dis-

play when browsing through the artwork.

People: The general audience for ART3

are technology savvy people with a keen

interest in art, specifically 3D. They be

using it mostly for finding specific informa-

tion on artists they are familiar with and

browsing for information or inspiration.

The secondary audience are people who

have a specific reason for using the app,

but are not particualrly familiar with thecontent. Both audiences are illustrated in

the Characer // Context scenarios which

will be presented later on.

Activities:Generally the app is created for

personal use - personal browsing, per-

sonal favourites, etc. However it yields to

the the possibility of interacting in real life

using the information gathered through the

app. Also, the gallery finder adds a strictlysocial dimension to the app.

In terms offrequencyof use, the app is

meant as a reference, so most likely to be

used two to three times a month, for a

medium-use user. It is fairly straight-

forward to use, and includes an informa-

tion screen, and its use poses no threat

to personal health and safety.

Context:Some of the contexts in which

this app could be used are: personal

space for browsing and looking for infor-

mation; in asocial setting for clarification

or discussion; in a gallery, while lookingat an artists work for finding additional

information or discovering similar artists;

in a corporate setting when trying to find

specific work for commerical uses; etc.

Technology:The imput of the app is

concentrated on the touch screen. It is

additionally capable of working with

motion gestures such as shaking the

iPhone to yeld random results. the con-tent is updated throughg wi-fi, so the

app is always up to date. The buttons

are large and eaily accessible, and the

interface is intuitive and easy to learn.
