Reimagining Art Curation: The Role of Technology in Shaping Contemporary Art Exhibitions

Abstract

As a result of the proliferation of digital technology, the landscape of contemporary art curation has undergone a dramatic transformation, presenting novel approaches to the engagement of audiences and the presentation of art. The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact that technology has had on the development of art exhibitions, with a particular emphasis on the ways in which technology, digital tools, and interactive technologies are reinventing established curatorial methods. The research illustrates how technology is expanding the frontiers of how art is experienced and understood by analysing case studies of contemporary art exhibitions that include virtual reality, augmented reality, interactive installations, and digital projection. These exhibitions are examples of how technology is expanding the bounds of art. the ways in which curators are utilising new technologies to create spaces that are immersive, multi-sensory, and stimulate deeper spectator engagement in order to democratise access to art. In addition, the research investigates the difficulties and possibilities that are brought about by the incorporation of technology, considering the influence that it has on curatorial ethics, accessibility, and the preservation of art. According to the findings, technology is not only improving the experience of visiting an exhibition, but it is also altering the function of the curator, putting them in a position where they are facilitators of interaction between art, technology, and the general audience. When it comes down to it, the combination of art and technology is a driving force in the future of art curation. It offers new opportunities for innovation, inclusion, and audience participation.
