Virtualization and Participation in Art and Culture

Scope

The COVID-19 crisis has significantly changed the way we live, the practices of art, and how we perceive and engage with art and cultural heritage. Reduced travel and increased digitization have led to reduced environmental impact and faster access to culture by making museum collections, archives, or recordings available on the Internet for the general public and often even free of charge. Institutions are experimenting with new formats of distribution, e.g. stage performances, museum tours, or exhibitions in virtual reality or interactive music applications. The importance of digital spaces such as digital media and the Internet as places for culture and cultural events has strongly increased. Following the mechanics of the digital era, exchange, collaboration and networking are becoming central aspects of art and heritage work. This initiative from institutions to be more accessible, entertaining, and collaborative should be maintained even after the crisis has been overcome.
