- Title
LOS FONDOS ARTÍSTICOS Y DOCUMENTALES EN LOS MUSEOS ONLINE DE ARTE CONTEMPORÁNEO: INFORMACIÓN VERSUS CONTEXTUALIZACION.
- Authors
del Río Castro, J. Nicolás
- Abstract
Online museums have established themselves as leisure, learning and work resources for global audiences. However, a large number of contemporary art museums tend to communicate their online assets according to internal cataloguing and documentation models, rather than through communication strategies geared to a large and diverse audience. Consequently, this type of museums usually become digital repositories of data when information is vast, or brochures for the physical museum, when information is scarce. The present essay analyzes the artistic and documental online assets of 40 museums of contemporary art, and presents alternative communication models not based solely on data classification, but on meaning contextualization.
