Art, Museums and Digital Cultures

International Conference, online, 22-23 April 2021
At a time of greater and ever deeper interest in the impact of information technologies on contemporary society, the International Conference on Art, Museums and Digital Cultures aimed to provide a space for the discussion of current issues and projects relating to the crossover between artistic practices and the institutional sphere, with a particular focus on art museums.
The main objective was therefore to discuss the way in which digital technologies have contributed to the creation of new territories and stimulated different innovations in artistic production, curatorial practices and museum spaces. Furthermore, considering that technological systems are also a social and cultural construct, an attempt was made to investigate the circumstances under which contemporary art and museums have formulated new challenges and paved the way for new scientific developments.
The conference brought together a range of artistic, critical and scientific perspectives, affording visibility to recent or ongoing research works in various countries and cultural contexts.
This conference was a collaboration between the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology and the Institute of Art History, School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, under the scope of its Art, Museums and Digital Cultures cluster.
