We owe much of the art world’s inclusiveness and engagement to technology. New technologies continue to transform and reinvent the art world and who has access to it.
Many individuals assume customers won’t purchase art online. Online art galleries are thriving, and new technologies make it simpler than ever for purchasers to see distant paintings. New innovation brings gallery-like experiences to living rooms and computer screens across the globe.
The coronavirus epidemic has made inclusive, accessible art even more important. Even frequent gallery visitors need new ways to participate. Online art galleries and modern technology enable art enthusiasts of all expertise levels to appreciate and buy art.
I’ve seen art’s digital metamorphosis firsthand. People who never collected art are now collectors. Traditionalists who avoided sophisticated technology are now optimistic about the future. Innovation and open minds have democratized art globally. Augmented and virtual reality, machine learning and personalization, AI, and blockchain have already begun to transform the market.
AR and VR are reshaping the art world and art itself
AR is used in museums and galleries to give visitors more information about the paintings they see and to make their visits more interactive. AR can let global audiences access beautiful art. Last year, Apple and the New Museum worked together to put on free art walks in seven places. Online galleries, such as Amazon and Facebook, are looking into ways to use data to improve buyer suggestions.
Art is subjective, personal, and emotional, therefore facts alone may never satisfy contemporary art consumers. Saatchi Art is discovered that combining curators’ bespoke collections with machine learning suggestions might help. The outcome provides our users possible artwork they’ll appreciate based on prior browsing activity and more nuanced alternatives that may surprise and thrill them emotionally.
Smarter personalisation creates beginning-to-end customized content. In certain circumstances, content varies based on the viewer’s preferences. Netflix has used tailored categories and suggestions to engage consumers for years.
Art viewers may soon see the same works differently, dependent on the galleries’ or artists’ technological ability. Tokyo’s digital museum, teamLAB Borderless, shows how art can be interactive and customized.
It’s exciting to see a generational transition in art. As the world becomes increasingly digital and more individuals get comfortable buying unique artworks online, technology will help the art industry move into new markets and disrupt the status quo.
Younger generations that grew up with technology will regard this as a natural extension of their reality. We will be able to deal with the problems and opportunities of art in the future if we use new technologies in a smart way and combine them with human curation and immersive event design.
