Tiivistelmä
Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the interplay between art and technology changed and brought new ways of imagining the future of visual art. This study aimed to find alternative ways of producing art exhibitions, combining art, technology, and different co-creation models.
As practical research, the Aerial Roots hybrid art exhibition was produced by seven students from Tampere University of Applied Sciences. The exhibition took place in February 2022 at Himmelblau Gallery in Tampere, Finland and is available virtually via Matterport online platform until 2023.
This thesis presents the most significant results from the “Aerial Roots” hybrid art production combined with theoretical data on contemporary art, virtual reality, and sustainability, gathered primarily from articles, reports, usability tests, and technology comparisons.
The findings brought new viewpoints on topics such as cultural accessibility, digitization, and sustainability. It was found that alternative production models generated by the use of new audiovisual technologies can offer immersive, accessible, and sustainable solutions that can be beneficial not only to the visual art field but also to freelancers, companies, and organizations in the creative industry sector.
To help society, art and technology evolve harmoniously in the future, further development is required. Simplified technological tools and virtual platforms dedicated to immersive art experiences are needed to bring art closer to society and encourage artists to find new ways of collaboration for a stronger impact in their communities.
