How new technologies are completely revolutionizing the consumption of art

“The best use of digital is to not make you aware of the technology, but to make you aware of the art,” said Jane Alexander, chief information officer at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Museums are looking at the best attendance they’ve ever had, thanks to the way technology is revolutionizing the consumption of art. “It’s about putting art on the forefront. […] It’s about better practices and thinking about how this can be a toolset to get people into the collection”, Jane Alexander added.
