New Media Gallery: White Cube, Black Box & New Media Lounge
Overview New Media art poses challenges to presentation, collection & preservation to a gallery space based on the White Cube model. This model of art museums predates the type of works being generated by New Media artists and was not developed with it in mind. T he interactivity inherent in much of the new media art challenge the status of gallery as a space of sanctity and alter the roles of curators, artists, and audiences to wards more collaborative models of production and presentation . The materiality of the equipment or hardware used in media art, poses more practical problems including successful operation. Alternative approaches to integrate new media art within the institution and gallery have been explored. It's inclusion in Festivals preceded presence in galleries. More recently larger scale museums were developed, dedicated exclusively to showcasing and promoting new media art. Media Lounge is another highly debated alternative to traditional gallery model. It functions not only as a platform for exhibitions but also as a lab or a library. A common characteristic of new media exhibitions is that they tend to undergo transformation each time they are re-exhibited. Questions arise beyond the fundamental where to present new media art but also what is the work of art in new media art, if its form varies from exhibition to exhibition.
