Jacques-Edouard
Berger Foundation. World Art Treasures. This site is
an example of how information should be collected and made available
through the Web. The slides vary in quality and there is little
or no captioning, but it remains the most outstanding collection of
art on the Web. Because the Web site uses frames it is difficult
if not impossible to link to a specific image or page. Even with
that barrier to usefulness, it is still the best of its kind.
"The principal purpose of World Art Treasures is to promulgate the
discovery and love of art. Thanks to the 100,000 slides belonging to
the Jacques-Edouard Berger Foundation, all of them devoted to art, and
including the main civilizations, such as Egypt, China, Japan, India,
Europe, its purpose is to offer a different approach to art through
Internet. Taking advantage of the specificity of a multidimensional
and multilevel network, it is an attempt to shed new light on art and
a new way of contemplating it.
In contrast to the usual way of setting up a small or huge data banks
according to a documentary or historical perspective, our ambition is
to build a specific approach for each itinerary, each time taking into
account and emphasizing a specific and original trait in order not
only to provide information, but to give birth to give birth to a
truly new experience thanks to cutting-edge technology."
