泛在化连接:数字时代博物馆藏品的展示与传播

Ubiquitous Connection:A Discussion on the Presentation and Communication of Museum Collections in the Digital Age

数字技术与互联网塑造了一个超级连接的社会,给博物馆藏品的传播与阐释提供了新的思路,也带来了信息传播场景与观众角色的转变。在数字技术对藏品展示与传播的影响研究中,阿诺德·伯林特审美场域理论的分析框架有助于对观众参与式体验的动态过程的分析。策展人创建出的是可供观众参与其中的互动体验场域,其本质是一种关系性时空;数字技术对藏品传播的影响在于策展人、藏品、观众和语境之间关系的转变,呈现为对场域内部各因素间连接潜力的扩展。在关系性时空的观念下,可以进一步超越场馆化与实体化的传播模式,让藏品传播嵌入公众的生活场景,成为一种泛在化的存在。

Digital technology and the Internet have shaped a hyper-connected society,providing new ideas for the dissemination and interpretation of museum collections and bringing about a shift in the scenario of communication and the role of the audience.Among the studies of the impact of digital technologies on the display and communication of museum collections,Arnold Berleant’s aesthetic field theory is particularly helpful in analyzing the dynamic process of audience participatory experience.What the curator creates is an interactive experience that engages audience,which is essentially a relational space-time;the impact of digital technologies on the communication of museum collections lies in the transformation of the relationships between the curator,the collection,the audience,and the context,which presents itself as an expansion of the potential for connection among the factors within the field.Under the notion of relational space-time,it is possible to further transcend the modes of communication by the physical space of the museum,allowing collection communication to embed itself in the public’s life scenes and become a ubiquitous presence.
