THROUGH ART AND TECHNOLOGY TOWARDS NEW WAYS OF EXPERIENCING ART

Diplomsko nalogo so vodila tri vprašanja: kaj se dogaja na področju izkušanja umetnosti in umetniških del, kakšne poti dostopa do slednjih se ponujajo uporabniku danes in kakšno vlogo pri tem igrajo tehnologija in sodobne umetniške prakse. V začetnem iskanju odgovorov na omenjena vprašanja smo paradigmi vizualnega v likovni umetnosti ob bok postavili veččutno doživljanje. Sodobne umetniške prakse in uporabo tehnologije smo izpostavili kot dodatna momenta za ustvarjanje novih poti dostopanja do umetnosti in izkušanja le-te. Predpostavili smo, da bodo tehnološke rešitve, ki danes ponujajo ustvarjalne možnosti na sečišču znanosti in umetnosti, v prihodnosti prispevale k predrugačenju prostorov umetnosti ter odnosa med njimi in uporabniki. Na Pogačarjevem primeru smo pokazali na model drugačne kulturne ustanove danes in v okviru vizije prihodnosti izpostavili pomen participacije in sodelovanja v ideji odprtokodne kulturne ustanove. S konkretnimi primeri smo pokazali na ustvarjalne izvedbe in drugačne poti za izkušanje umetnosti, ki jih kulturne utanove danes ponujajo uporabnikom. Kot sintezo in odgovor na vse zapisano smo ob koncu podali lastno zamisel za hibridni spletni vmesnik, ki bi ustvaril skupni prostor za nove načine izkušanja umetnosti, odprl poti za uporabo tehnologije in sodobnih pristopov ter s participacijo in sodelovanjem vključil in povezal različne skupine uporabnikov.The diploma thesis has been led by three questions: what is happening in the field of experiencing art and art workswhich ways of accessing these are offered to users todayand what is the role of technology and contemporary art practice in this process. During the initial search for answers to the aforementioned questions, multisensory experiencing was placed alongside the paradigm of the visual in fine art. Contemporary art practices and the use of technology were emphasised as two additional moments for creating new paths to accessing and experiencing art. We presumed that technology solutions, which today offer creative possibilities at the intersection of science and art, would in the future contribute towards transformation of art spaces and the relations between them and their users. Pogačar’s project was used to showcase a different modernday cultural institution and, within a vision of the future, to highlight the meaning of participation and collaboration as a part of the idea of an opensource cultural institution. By showing specific examples we were able to highlight creative implementations and different ways of experiencing art as offered by modernday cultural institutions to their users. We introduced our own idea of a hybrid web interface as a synthesis and an answer to everything aforementioned. The interface in question would create a common space for new ways of experiencing art, open paths for the use of technology and contemporary approaches, as well as integrate and connect different groups of users through participation and collaboration
