Museums, spaces and people out of place
Capturing people appreciating art and making art
Classics, sculptures, ancients and the mysterious are kept in a sophisticated location where the public wanders and ponders. It seems like museums are ideal places for enriching historical knowledge, for every sight, smell and touch a form of delight for the culture vultures. Spaces between the agent and the principal, is crucial to how art is being perceived in the eyes of the public.
Sometimes these spaces create a form of interaction, a bridge constructed for the art to the viewer. Sometimes, candid moments can be captured.

From the tamed thoughtful expressions of the public, art viewing has become an etiquette of observing the art and perceiving in silence.
Victoria Albert Museum, Classics
Paintings are obscured into tiny spaces, where one has to come by again for refreshing trips because a day in a museum is a day in the universe.
Musée du Louvre, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
Paintings that are given its respected grandiose settings, such as that flocks turn when something withstand the mysterious, reclusive and genius of an engineer, inventor and painter.
Palace of Versailles
One who admires the nobles, powerful, antiquities and all that glitters is not gold.
Royal Palace of Madrid
The technological age, where technology sees and understand but not the mind.
Vatican Museum
Who’s holding the pole? The high hide, or the low hide?
As technology advances arrives at our door-step, museums are constantly strained in efforts to catch up with technology by offering audio-guides, electronic screens and scanners, but at the same time preserving its lineage and prestige. As technology evolves, art also evolves. But with technology, we can appreciate art in a lighter form and it could bring art viewing to innovative levels.
Will museums become redundant in the long run? Well, let’s hope that the traditions of art viewing will evolve and reinvent itself.
