Cell Phone Audio Tour: Modern Outdoor Sculpture at the Getty Center  
Project Description
Cell phone audio tour created for the recent installation of modern and contemporary outdoor sculpture donated to the J. Paul Getty Museum from the collection of the late legendary film producer Ray Stark and his wife, Fran. The audio tour is available to visitors from their personal phones using a service provided by the vendor Guide by Cell. Visitors may also access the tour on the Getty’s Website as streaming audio, using a player created by the Getty Web Group; may download the tour to their personal MP3 players, with accompanying map and guide; or access the tour as a podcast through iTunes. The audio tour is a random access tour, currently featuring 18 works of art from the modern outdoor sculpture collection at the Getty Center. The tour includes commentary by curators, a conservator, designer, art historian, and three of the sculptors themselves.
