Abstract

In the era of the gradual development of digital media, the curatorial industry faces both opportunities and challenges. On the basis of traditional curation, the development of technology has led to changes in the form of curation. Under the influence of the epidemic environment, online exhibitions have become a hot topic of discussion. This study research and analyze the future development direction of the exhibition industry through a literature review and case analysis. It has been found that new media has brought both positive and negative impacts to the art curating industry. Digital curating can contribute to the popularity of exhibitions due to their convenience. However, how to protect the traditional culture and reflect the authenticity of exhibits in the process of technological development remains to be studied. In the future development of curating, curators can consider combining traditional curating methods with new media to maximize their respective advantages and achieve better visual effects.
