Q: What about 3-D?

The art appears, understandably, to be mostly constrained to paintings by the old masters. I work at a museum of contemporary art based solely on site-specific installation art and the ephemeral nature of many of the temporary artworks scream for proper documentation---they have been constructed from a myriad of materials, from dead birds to candy. Imagining some sort of marriage of Photosynth and Google Goggles for 3-D art, contemporary and otherwise, makes my heart go pitter pat.

GAP (already kinda awesome) has been improving steadily during the past two months; I can't wait to see what's in store.
