Abstract
Institutions and people’s lives have been impacted by public health initiatives to contain the COVID-19 virus. The outbreak may qualify as a mega event due to its potential for global impact and transformation. The contemporary art world has especially felt the impact of the epidemic, as the entire cultural activity has been suspended due to the outbreak, including exhibitions and museums of various themes. During this period, art institutions and collectives around the world have responded by providing alternative materials for artistic works through various technological technologies and online. Emerging, high-tech methods such as multimedia art are applied to display design to help the art world continue to develop during the pandemic. This article aims to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of online virtual exhibitions of contemporary art. From the case analysis of 3 online exhibitions (2 museums, 1 art biennale), analyze the development advantages of online virtual exhibitions. Most online virtual exhibitions can use virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), Fabric VR projects, including: 3D Fabric VR, 360-degree Fabric VR, a network-based digital collection system, and other technologies to enhance the exhibition experience. And create related websites or apps to allow visitors to visit online exhibitions. These studies will contribute to a broad understanding of existing online virtual exhibitions, including the technologies used and future application development.
