Exponat – Raum – Interaktion

Digital exhibitions have established themselves in archives, libraries, museums and research institutions as a means of presenting and communicating topics, digital exhibits and collections. In this context, digital exhibition practice moves between approaches that are oriented towards the classical exhibition tradition or strive for a consistent new conceptualisation under the digital paradigm. This volume brings together the diverse, above all practice-oriented approaches to this dynamically developing medium. The focus is on the object and its role, on its specific quality as a digital exhibit and on the potential of multimedia exhibition design in digital space. With the inclusion of findings from museum audience research, the expectations of recipients in the digital as well as digital strategies and mediation concepts for digital exhibitions will also be explored. Digital exhibitions have been firmly established in archives, libraries, museums and research institutions as a way to present and communicate topics, digital exhibits and collections. Under the impression of fluid definitions and the specific conditions of institutions and exhibitions, digital exhibition practice ranges between approaches that are oriented towards the classical exhibition tradition or aim for a consistent new conception under the digital paradigm. This volume brings together the diverse, primarily practice-oriented, but also research-based and methodological approaches to this dynamically developing medium. The focus of attention will be on the object and its role as well as its specific quality as a digital exhibit and the potential of multimedia exhibition design in digital space. In addition, the expectations of recipients in the digital world as well as digital strategies and educational concepts for digital exhibitions will be explored, applying the results of the museum's audience research. The volume is a contribution to interdisciplinary exchange in the field of digital exhibition curating.
