International online exhibition

The project theme combines three topics: digital spaces, art exhibitions, and difficult logistics.

The necessity for such an event is driven by three problems:

1. Many student competitions are only open to students from specific universities or particular countries.
2. The topic of decentralization, closed borders, and emigration is very relevant.
3. Virtual art has become less in demand over the last five years, yet more institutions continue to provide online access to art.

Until the 2000s The first virtual museums emerged before 2000, before the web environment became popular among the art community.

1989– 1993 The world’s first virtual museum operated during these years, created by La société de conservation du présent.

1999 The Guggenheim Museum opened an experimental interactive museum not only for disseminating the collection abroad but also as a platform for cyber art.

Virtual exhibitions of the Tallinn Art Building

Eesti Kunstihoone has a section for virtual exhibitions. This is a separate online platform where posters are displayed. Each poster leads to a real space where the exhibition is taking place. You can approach each exhibit. There is information about both the exhibits and the exhibition itself. This is not a graphic visualization but a real image of the exhibition, which gives the feeling of visiting in real time.

HSE ART GALLERY x IVAN GORSHKOV — 100 YEARS IN ART

This exhibition is made on the KUNSTMATRIX platform. The platform allows artists and galleries to create 3D exhibitions and art events virtually. KUNSTMATRIX is suitable not only for artists but also for curators. One can use the provided space model or create a space independently. The exhibition can include paintings, sculptures, audio, and video exhibits.

Brodsky’s museum-apartment 'One and a half rooms'

A digital project within the actual apartment of Brodsky. Video projects are shown there, and photographs and other various materials are projected on the walls. ''The main concept of 'One and a Half Rooms' is to preserve the authentic emptiness within them.''

Multimedia art space

A group that rethinks the concept of the traditional museum and transforms classical art into the dimension of digital space. In a dark room, animated paintings of world art are projected on canvases, showing what can be called 'alive' art, accompanied by musical compositions.

Arts and culture

Google Arts & Culture is an online platform of high-resolution images and videos of artworks and cultural artifacts from partner cultural organizations throughout the world, operated by Google. Through the Virtual Gallery Tour users can virtually ‘walk through’ the galleries. Users can compile any number of images from the partner organizations and save specific views of artworks to create a personalized virtual exhibition.

National Museum of Women in the Arts

The interactive 'exhibition' is more like a catalog supplementing the real exhibition, providing an opportunity to comfortably familiarize oneself with the exhibits. Many museums have such an option, which is not often applied to exhibitions.

Virtual art gallery

The gallery is unlimited in reality and accessibility for all. This gallery represents a democratic world of art. The platform creates immersive ways to explore art online. The platform offers the opportunity to create your own exhibition in a 3D space and visit other exhibitions created by the art community.

Golden bee

This is a global biennial of graphic design. Participants from different countries take part in the exhibition. This is a physical event, as participants send their posters. Such format work can be printed in any country, with no need to physically send the original. The main requirement is to send a correctly formatted file.

Border art

The theme of closed borders has long been present in the art environment. There are exhibitions and festivals that speak on this topic. The theme touches on many aspects: migration, culture, nationality, etc.

1. Digital art platforms are carving out their space in the art market, especially for contemporary art.

2. The themes of decentralisation, emigration, and various types of borders are gaining popularity in today’s society.

3. Viewing an exhibition online in a 3D format and/or through recorded exhibition spaces provides an experience comparable to visiting a physical exhibition.

4. The review of the list of items presented at the exhibition lacks a businesslike character, not encouraging the viewer to engage in reflection.
