It is clear, though, that by now whatever marginalization to which Fernández was referring has ended - digital media are now not simply permitted, but
demanded in
contemporary arts spaces, having transformed the relationship between
audiences and institutions so fully as to necessitate investment in and revamping of «digital experience» and «digital education» departments to handle the «digital content» and «digital immersion» in nearly all major museums.
Conventional curatorial practice is ineffective, especially as
contemporary institutions, artists, and
audience demand much more than they ever have before.
