Abstract

The use of digital museum objects has become an essential part of museums' communication and marketing strategies, research and teaching, and curatorial practices. This new visibility, amplified by the COVID-19 crisis, has not only revealed the possibilities of digital museum objects but has also underscored significant challenges, including the intricate relationship between digital museum objects and physical objects, the impact of digital museum objects on knowledge creation, and the online interaction with art and cultural heritage. Furthermore, it has drawn attention to the digital platforms that host digital museum objects, ranging from museum collection databases to online encyclopedias, cultural heritage platforms, and social media. The present paper explores these issues by examining how digital platforms are changing the way digital reproductions of artworks are used and reimagined, both inside and outside the institutions that house the artworks. To illuminate these dynamics, it looks at specific case studies, including the Getty Challenge, the online circulation of Delacroix's La liberté guidant le peuple, and the collection databases of Belgian museums and of the Mauritshuis. Theoretically, it combines the art historical concept of circulation with the notion of gray and colored memory drawn from digital memory studies. In doing so, it conceives of museum databases and cultural heritage platforms, as spaces of participation and neglect, of memory and oblivion, with a vast potential for producing new perspectives on art and cultural heritage and telling new (art) histories. In conclusion, the paper advocates for “circulation” as a key concept for revitalizing online collections of digital reproductions of artworks.

流通中的艺术:为艺术品的数字复制创造内容和语境
数字博物馆物品的使用已成为博物馆宣传和营销战略、研究和教学以及策展实践的重要组成部分。COVID-19 危机扩大了这一新的能见度,它不仅揭示了数字博物馆物品的可能性,也凸显了重大挑战,包括数字博物馆物品与实物之间错综复杂的关系、数字博物馆物品对知识创造的影响,以及与艺术和文化遗产的在线互动。此外,它还引起了人们对承载数字博物馆物品的数字平台的关注,这些平台包括博物馆藏品数据库、在线百科全书、文化遗产平台和社交媒体。本文通过研究数字平台如何在艺术品收藏机构内外改变艺术品数字复制品的使用和重新想象方式,来探讨这些问题。为了阐明这些动态变化,本文对一些具体案例进行了研究,其中包括盖蒂挑战赛、德拉克洛瓦的《La liberté guidant le peuple》的在线传播,以及比利时博物馆和毛里求斯博物馆的藏品数据库。从理论上讲,它将艺术史上的流通概念与数字记忆研究中的灰色和彩色记忆概念相结合。在此过程中,它将博物馆数据库和文化遗产平台视为参与和忽视、记忆和遗忘的空间,具有产生艺术和文化遗产新视角以及讲述新(艺术)历史的巨大潜力。最后,本文主张将 "流通 "作为振兴艺术品数字复制品在线收藏的一个关键概念。
