Is a museum website a good form to experience the art piece ?
Many of the museum these days have a online website, where the visitor could get the basic information as well as the new exhibition and new event. Many exhibitions are photo taken. Video and photography are the form of the recording. I find it useful sometime, when I don’t have time to go to museum. I could simply just get online and read about the most recent exhibition. However the Museum website does lack of pace and sense of the space, I can choose which one image to look at. Also before I get to popular exhibition. I will have already seen the image from elsewhere, such as Intagram. Therefore I think before I went to the museum, I would have a expectation of the show already. That expectation is very much influence by the photographs that I saw through digital devicec. If the photograph is displayed and shot in nice ways, I would have highly expected the exhibition.
As article mentioned, “enforce those pedagogical prescriptions through architecture, texts and other didactic materials, public programming and, of course, the placement of art works themselves—we simply have to acknowledge and even accept the ever-changing role technology plays in that experience, for better or for worse.”Technology and digital interaction between people and the art pieces change the way people approach the art. Therefore I think is important for people to look at the art pieces in its physical form. To approach to the most natural and realistic of the art pieces enable people to have deep thinking. The display space encourages people to step out of environment that once lived in and to able to experience the art piece in five sense ways. Therefore I think museum website is good place for people to get information about the art piece and to read about the story behind it, but going to museum and be in physical space is very import for the visitor as well.
