Smartify- a new app created by Anna Lowe which identifies artworks in galleries. It's supposed to recognise an image and give information and comments about particular paintings and artists. Lowe says that it will connect people with art even more and will make it easier to learn about it, what's more, we won't spend extra money on guides.
Honestly, I don't like this idea. First of all, I don't want anyone to destroy that magical atmosphere of pure beauty when I'm at the gallery, by holding their smartphones instead of admiring the artworks. Secondly, guides are there for a reason and if someone doesn't want to spend money maybe he or she should read a bit. I don't quite understand how anybody can go to see an exhibition without having any basic knowledge about it. In my pessimistic opinion, future of robots and people with phones instead of brains is coming very fast.
words:
to admire = to adore, praise in some way
e.g. I'm slightly whispering because all around me there are people admiring the artwork that covers these beautiful red walls.
to pop up = to appear instantly
e.g. It just pops up on your screen.
smirk = to smile in an affected, smug, or offensively familiar way
e.g. He has got a sort of smirk on his face.
