THE ENGLERT IT ALL HAPPENS HERE
>> Matthew Israel cont. from p. 20 the world. We also want to make sure that the genome works for those using the site to collect art—since it’s these users which allow Artsy to become a viable business and The Art Genome Project (as well as our other broader educational initiatives) to exist. Additionally, I think the whole site is moving towards greater personalization, and The Art Genome Project will have a large role in this, since it helps us identify so many more ways in which to make connections for our users. I’m also really excited to see The Art Genome Project be used as a learning tool in schools. Along with our freely-accessible database of images, we hope that students around the world will use it to start understanding art. We’re really proud of our Digital Ready partnership with the New York City Department of Education, which has brought Artsy into 14 high schools around the city, and we look forward to more ways in which to reach students in different ways around the world. LV: Can you explain a little bit about your role at Mission Creek? What will you be doing? MI: I hope to end the conference on an inspiring note. My talk will concern historical attempts to help people fall in love with art; what we’re doing now in this area and what we can do better in the future. As a side note, I’m really happy to be speaking about tech innovation outside of New York and San Francisco and thus engage with talented people in the Midwest working in the field. I also love the fact that this conference engages both the art and technology audiences and think this is a great fit for Artsy. LV: Lastly, are there any parts of the festival you’re looking most forward to? MI: To be honest, I haven’t had a chance to finalize what I am doing and I think part of this is every time I look at the list of events I want to go to them all. I have to say, though, that I’d love to be able to catch Rachel Kushner, Of Montreal, The Head and the Heart, Philip Glass, Warpaint and going to the book fair and the lit crawl.
