SUMMARY:The Art Museum in the Digital Age – 2022
DESCRIPTION:This International Online Conference is organised by the Belved
 ere Research Center\, as part of its conference series on the digital tran
 sformation of art museums with its fourth event on the topic. The 2022 eve
 nt centers on the convergence of analog and digital media. Is the binary r
 hetoric of analog/digital\, conservative/progressive\, either/or … still
  appropriate in the post-digital age\, or should we address questions of m
 edia specificity\, hybridity\, and mixed reality?\n\nMedia theorists like 
 Peter Weibel were quick to bury the body-based “society of proximity” 
 discursively in the face of the pandemic. In gigantic stadiums\, concert h
 alls\, and museums\, he could only recognize “the pharaonic tombs of the
  future.” That people would not simply relocate to a purely digital worl
 d was already foreshadowed by the first easing of restrictions in the summ
 er of 2020\, when an almost excessive return to the analog took place. Ori
 ginal artworks were more in demand than ever\, and there was a hunger for 
 encounters with other people and objects in the museum. There are\, it see
 ms\, anthropological constants\, despite the expanded purview of technolog
 ical possibilities. But what does this mean for the art museum in the digi
 tal age and the position of the digital in the cultural sector? What do su
 ccessful forms of mediation look like in view of the dialectic of virtuali
 ty and physical presence? And what new challenges must be overcome in the 
 process?\n\nDuring five evenings\, the online conference will feature a ra
 nge of interdisciplinary contributions\, which above all – but not exclu
 sively – critically reflect on the following topics:\n\nThe structural t
 ransformation of the public sphere in the digital age\n\nThe logic of sele
 ction and interpretation in the modern media ecosystem\n\n“Platformizati
 on” and the erosion of the traditional rituals for engaging with art\n\n
 Artificial intelligence and new forms of curating\n\nHuman-computer intera
 ction in the museum\n\nForms of participation in real/ digital spaces\n\nT
 he relationship between original-digital-virtual\n\nHybrid publishing and 
 new forms of knowledge representation
