Abstract

ABSTRACT Gallerists and collectors have often looked sceptically at works in electronic media for quite different reasons: their novelty and highly experimental approach; their technical aspects; their virtual and ephemeral nature; and the difficulties of preservation and maintenance. In an effort to change this Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria) initiated the Gallery Spaces Program in 2017. Using the example of Ars Electronica, this article discusses the important role that media art holds as cultural heritage and argues that societies risk losing important artworks if the value system of the art world does not change. The art market itself is experiencing a digital transformation, and new possibilities and business models are being explored that place Ars Electronica and its legacy of fostering media arts in a very important position. Ars Electronica becomes a mediator between media art and the art market by opening its platform for exchanges between the different stakeholders.

电子艺术与媒体艺术经济

画廊和收藏家经常对电子媒体作品持怀疑态度，原因各不相同:它们的新颖性和高度实验性的方法;他们的技术方面;他们的虚拟和短暂的性质;以及保存和维护的困难。为了改变这种状况，奥地利林茨的电子艺术博物馆于2017年启动了画廊空间计划。本文以电子艺术为例，讨论了媒体艺术作为文化遗产的重要作用，并认为如果艺术界的价值体系不改变，社会就有可能失去重要的艺术品。艺术市场本身正在经历一场数字化转型，新的可能性和商业模式正在被探索，这使得电子艺术展及其培养媒体艺术的遗产处于非常重要的位置。Ars Electronica成为媒介艺术与艺术市场之间的中介，为不同利益相关者之间的交流打开了平台。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Visual Art Practice (JVAP) is a forum of debate and inquiry for research in art. JVAP is concerned with visual art practice including the social, economic, political and cultural frames within which the formal concerns of art and visual art practice are located. The journal is concerned with research engaged in these disciplines, and with the contested ideas of knowledge formed through that research. JVAP welcomes submissions that explore new theories of research and practice and work on the practical and educational impact of visual arts research. JVAP recognises the diversity of research in art and visual arts, and as such, we encourage contributions from scholarly and pure research, as well as developmental, applied and pedagogical research. In addition to established scholars, we welcome and are supportive of submissions from new contributors including doctoral researchers. We seek contributions engaged with, but not limited to, these themes: -Art, visual art and research into practitioners'' methods and methodologies -Art , visual art, big data, technology, and social change -Art, visual art, and urban planning -Art, visual art, ethics and the public sphere -Art, visual art, representations and translation -Art, visual art, and philosophy -Art, visual art, methods, histories and beliefs -Art, visual art, neuroscience and the social brain -Art, visual art, and economics -Art, visual art, politics and power -Art, visual art, vision and visuality -Art, visual art, and social practice -Art, visual art, and the methodology of arts based research
