Basically you can upload your own and comment others’ art work within this site. Most liked work will be shown in KIASMA a modern art gallery here in Helsinki. My job was to seamlessly glue together latest Facebook social plugins and flash image scrolling engine. These types of situations I call to Arttu at Vapaaradikaali and build a plan. A technical issue we had to solve was the obfuscated meta data to serve the Facebook plugin “Like”. Like works like this: You give the URL as a parameter and after submit facebook comes back and checks out what is there to like. It needs custom metadata to populate all the info. You cannot generate meta info on fly so we had to generate a ghost html-page for each artwork which URL we used to feed the “Like” plugin. It works like a charm. With Arttu we did manage push a pretty decent web site. And of course the Design credits go to Talented people at hasan & partners, Sanna, Anu and Pia.
