ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Felix Jung, a clever creator at avovision, has developed a slick  
Flash-based interface that uses Flickr's API (Application Programming  
Interface) to "grab" images based on Flickr tags to coincide with a  
song called "Astronaut" by Dan Frick.

There are some amazing exhibit and exhibition possibilities for  
museums and multi-media artists to make use of this approach to tap  
into existing public Flickr images (including those currently posted  
by museums themselves.)

Try "Astronaut" out for yourself and read more about the specifics of  
Mr. Jung's project via this link at the ExhibiTricks blog: <http://

api.html>
