Excerpt: ES: It's in our blood, really, because Warhol was always an innovator in terms of new technology. It came to the point that developers of new products would come to him and ask him to utilize their product in the development of a new work of art. So when the Polaroid camera was invented, they went directly to Warhol and asked him to use it to see what he could do. The same with early tape recording devices, early video cameras, Andy even had an early Amiga computer. He was always ahead of the curve, and because of that, we always think in that direction as well. As Facebook and Twitter were developing, we wanted to be front and center, and we've been very successful. Right now, we have more than 485,000 followers on Twitter, making us the eighth-most-followed museum in the world.
