Wikipop iPads and Visitor Metrics

The coverflow app that Beau developed worked very well.  Stats indicated that visitors were traversing the entire length of the 26 artists.  The artist names were presented alphabetically in the coverflow, but visitors didn’t just click on names earlier in the alphabet, they swiped and clicked on names all over the menu.  Interestingly, visitors looked at almost the same artists no matter if they were seated or standing.  When you look at the top ten in each category, the lists are almost the identical with the order changing slightly:

top 10 at end of exhibition with access to seating—

Dorothy_Grebenak, Dorothy_Iannone, Chryssa, Jann_Haworth, Vija_Celmins, Marjorie_Strider, Pauline_Boty, Idelle_Weber, Letty_Eisenhauer, Kay_Kurt

top 10 in gallery standing—

Dorothy_Grebenak*, Marjorie_Strider, Jann_Haworth, Dorothy_Iannone, Idelle_Weber*, Pauline_Boty, Chryssa*, Vija_Celmins, Rosalyn_Drexler*, Marisol_Escobar*

In the standing top 10, I’ve included asterisks that indicate artists with work in the show physically near an iPad, possibly changing the stats.  Devices were also near objects by Lee Lozano and Kay Kurt, but those two artists did not make it into the standing top 10 list.  I’ll note at this point that choice of thumbnail easily skewed stats and, it seems, sex and money still sell in the end—take a look at some of the images used in the coverflow and then revisit the top 10 lists:
