Idea of an Exhibition

In the previous tutorial we had discussed how we were interested in creating a collaborative art piece where participants would be filtered into pairs, they would maybe be given a prompt (similar to previous experiments) and asked to create something while interacting with their pair. This idea my whole group liked so we will plan to do this. However we wanted to think about the future of this project, what will we do with the eventual pieces of art we collect? In the tutorial we were made aware of some digital exhibition websites where audiences and participants can see the art pieces that have been formed. Ideally in a non-pandemic work we could physically bring people together and create a physical exhibition, however due to social distancing requirements we think a digital exhibition be would be safer. These websites are ArtSteps and Hubs.

ArtSteps

Artsteps is a website which allows users to make their own VR Exhibitions, as you can see below it also allows interactivity for viewers to tell your story. This is an option for if we decide to showcase our work in a digital exhibition. This will allow us to create a digital and seemingly physical space for us to put all our participants work, for viewers to compare and admire.

Hubs

Hubs by Mozilla is a website where you can share a virtual room with friends, this is not a site specifically for exhibitions but still could be a good option. This site differentiates from ArtSteps as you can see other peoples avatars while you chat. This could be an interesting site to showcase our exhibition as our whole project is about bringing people together through technology, and this site itself allows that interaction. So viewers could interact while observing art about interaction.
