Free GameAbout Magic Tate Ball
Magic Tate Ball reveals the hidden connections between art and your everyday life!
Shake your phone day or night, anywhere in the world, and the app’s clever search algorithm will present you with the most relevant artwork from Tate’s archive. It uses date, time of day, your GPS location, local weather conditions and ambient noise levels to match an artwork to that unique moment in time.
With artworks from Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, JM Turner and many more, Magic Tate Ball is a fun way to find art, giving you the Tate on tap!
Each artwork comes with a funny or facty Twitter-sized write-up. If it's a sunny day you might share in Constable's appreciation of the great British landscape. The rain might coax 'The Snail' by Matisse out of his shell. At lunch time you might find out why fat, and felt, are so important in Beuys's work, or a noisy after work drink might lead to Georg Baselitz explaining why he made a piece with a chainsaw.
Take your Magic Tate Ball to Tate Modern to unlock a super-secret bonus mode.
Magic Tate Ball is yours to shake, what artwork will this moment make?

Fun way to discover some new works or classics with a bit of historical context, something you may not know about them and shows off fastidious cataloguing work to enable it. Great for casual interest.

It's great fun and challenges my philistine colleagues to look at art in a different way.

By far one of THE most fun educational apps I've seen so far. When you shake your phone with the app opened, you get an artwork based on immediate environmental factors, like the weather, location, and even ambient noise. You can customize which factors the app looks for when choosing an artwork for you. It's the best art museum experience I've had without stepping inside one.
