Page 422 - The Black Box Book

This monograph documents the development of exhibition institutions and
the nature of curation throughout the Covid 19 epidemic, with a special
focus on the year 2020. It tries to answer the question of how curatorial
techniques, communication platforms, and the social role of exhibition
institutions have altered as a result of rapid and external circumstanc-
es, which compelled the shift from physical gallery spaces to online. It
reflects critically on the exhibition project Černá skříňka/The Black Box
(TIC Galery), in which several curatorial approaches were applied, includ-
ing the use of artificial intelligence, and situates it in the broader context
of coincident curatorial projects in both the Czech Republic and abroad.
Exploring the evolving topology of online curation, these texts reflect on
personal experiences and theoretical discourses that are influenced by
digital and network media theory.
