Visitors to the de Young museum in San Francisco can enjoy the first Google Glass-powered art exhibit.

The museum, which is run by Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, has worked with the folks at GuidiGO (and Google) to develop special content available on Google Glass as part of an exhibit of Keith Haring’s work.

Here’s what art lovers can expect to experience with Glass and GuidiGO:

Glass Explorers will access archival audiovisual materials that feature Keith Haring speaking about his work, the influences of graffiti and street life on his aesthetic, and the social justice issues about which he was most concerned. The tour also includes multiple interviews with those who were closest to Haring, including his sister Kristen Haring, his close friend and former studio assistant Julia Gruen (now executive director of the Keith Haring Foundation), fellow artist David LaChapelle, and Tony Shafrazi, who gave Haring his first official gallery show.

GuidiGO CEO David Lerman described it this way in the official announcement:

Wearing Glass in the gallery is like embarking on a multimedia journey, with visual archives, contextual music and testimonials revealing the artworks’ hidden stories. Within minutes, visitors completely forget they are even wearing Glass, as the screen subtly turns on only when needed.

The exhibit is open now through February 16th. If any of our readers happen to experience this, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
