Organised by the Belvedere Research Center, the online conference "The Art Museum in the Digital Age" will be held between 17-21 January 2022 (CET).
The COVID-19 pandemic, and our resultant inability to experience proximity to people and objects, has given the matter additional “virulence” in museums. Although the topic of digitization was gaining ground before the pandemic, the measures taken against the virus created a very special experimental arrangement in which the digital presence of museums was no longer merely a possible extension of exhibition spaces but rather the only way to reach the public. The conference will discuss questions beyond binary concepts, such as media specificity, hybridity, and mixed reality. In five thematic blocks, the lectures of the online conference by international experts will deal with how the digital and the analog can be productively, conceptually, and aesthetically interwoven in a museum setting.
