Now you can enjoy a new kind of app by an artist collective.

The Great Bare Mat & Constellation App is an artist book project designed for the iPad. It is an immersive experience, which will introduced you to the work of the Raqs Media Collective for the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. Explore highlights from the 2012 exhibition at the museum, source materials, related conversations and talks and videos, listen to audio and read the stories behind the artworks.

This app was conceived by the Raqs Media Collective (Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula and Shuddhabrata Sengupta) and Pieranna Cavalchini (The Tom and Lisa Blumenthal Curator of Contemporary Art at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum) and designed in collaboration with Isabel Meirelles (Boston based information designer).
