Panel – Demusealizing the museum: audience’s digital agency and institutional critique 2.0 as possible futures for art institutions

Authors: Nathalia Lavigne, Giselle Beiguelman, Bruno Moreschi, Rafael Pagatini

Work:

Nathalia Lavigne will present some results of the field research at the Humboldt Forum, in Berlin, in which she analyzes some audience participation initiatives on social networks and programs led by this institution that can be seen as examples of demusealization of the museum.

Theme: digital archives, digital agency, artificial intelligently, museum studies, decolonial

  • Abstract: This panel aims to discuss some artistic and research projects that explore new methodologies of working with digital museum archives and User Generated Content (USG) to ‘demusealize’ some established institutional practices. In a moment when the role of museums and their very definition are strictly problematized, how Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems and collaborative hashtags on social media can be used to dismantle museum discourses? In which way these digital tools are able to be explored as a new kind of institutional critique? Could these systems also be used as a way to expand poetic layers of art beyond its marketing and productivist focus? From these raised questions, the researcher and curator Nathalia Lavigne will moderate a discussion with the artists and researchers Dr. Giselle Beiguelman, Dr. Bruno Moreschi and Rafael Pagatini, whose artistic projects are questioning traditional museological narratives and problematizing the colonialist gaze in museum collections using digital tools..
