A series of cross-disciplinary panels will bring insight to the exhibition-research Abstract Art in the Age of New Media ([ Ссылка ]) from the 1st to 4th March 2021.

MoCDA will welcome artists from the show to discuss space and aesthetics with art professionals and neuroscience researchers.

Topics include Creating Abstract Works in the Digital Age (March 1st, 6 PM GMT), How Virtual Environments and Scenography Affect our Perception of Art (March 2nd, 6 PM GMT), The Future of Museums in the Digital Realm (March 3rd, 6 PM GMT) and What can cognitive science bring to museums and artists? (March 4th, 4 PM GMT).

We are familiar with the idea of museums and galleries full of objects – art works. Often our perception and our memory turn to the art works themselves, but the physical space of the museum or gallery provides a crucial context that art works into relation with one another. Arranging these relations is part of the curators’ work in designing and producing the ‘hang’. But what about the spatial and contextual arrangement of art in the digital world? Digital re-hanging now seems simple, so can non-linearity and rearrangement become the norm? Our panel brings together a diverse set of speakers with very different perspectives on creating, curating, contextualising and deploying art works. The current closure of physical gallery spaces means that our panel’s focus on digital engagement with experiences of art is a particularly pressing topic.
