The model of art galleries that was established already in modernism, still sets a certain standard for the exhibition areas. The so-called “white cube” is a hermetic space that allows the art to be seen and at the same time be protected from any social or contextual inputs. But does it really?
In the last two decades, the internet revolution has lured us into exploring the virtual space. In this newly discovered world, many artists have found their own space for creation. They use the internet not only as a means of exhibiting their works of art, but also as a creative medium or a subject of exploration.
In my thesis I presented the internet as an accessory, a medium of art and as an exhibition space – like we know it today. In my work, I included my virtual exhibition, described the process of setting it up and wrote down my findings based on the statistics of views.
In the pedagogical part I dealt with the question of how to involve the online exhibitions into the educational program.
