Virtual exhibition ART-ES
Conversation with the curators Rudi Risatti and Carmen González-Román
In recent years, digital formats have also become an important tool for communicating cultural content in the museum world, but the pandemic and the associated museum closures have shown what great potential they can still unfold.
ART-ES. From real life into the world of art is a virtual exhibition that combines the advantages of a scientific publication and an interactive presentation. The result of an international research project, it focusses on the relationships between the visual and performing arts in early modern Europe.
Through an innovative combination of audiovisual media, the exhibition offers fifteen virtual rooms that present historical festivals, processions, operas, ballets and pictorial works. Special emphasis is placed on the reconstruction of these festive events: Films, animations and dynamic forms of presentation breathe new life into them and contribute to their visualisation. The exhibition was launched on 10 June 2021.
