Digital and immersive technology has become become a a a a a a a a a a a central part of of everyday life We use it it to to to become become more informed to to to to to share opinions to to to to to access a a a a a a a a a a a wider range of of information and most recently to to to to exhibit Thanks to to to to the growing number of virtual gallery experiences art has never been so accessible reaching new and diverse audiences across the globe This curatorial turn has has not only changed aspects of how we approach exhibitions but it it has has also completely changed the the the game challenging the the the automatic need for for physicality in in museums Long before the the the COVID-19
pandemic did we see behemoth
galleries and and museums display their works virtually ECHOES OF NATURE IS NOT ONLY A A A A A DIGITAL PROJECT PROJECT BUT IT IT IS A A A A A A PROJECT PROJECT THAT WAS BORN TO BE VIRTUAL This vitally has allowed the the the curators of the the the show to to to not only launch deep research into the the the the possibilities and technologies of of of this realm but it it has also allowed the the the delivery of of of a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a unique space space representative of of of the the the the artist that may have otherwise been been completely unrealisable In this space space there has been been an an acute acknowledgement of the the the the need for grounding in in in in digital environments and and this is is reflected in in in in the the the the the separation of of the the the the space into two parts: the the the the conceptual garden and and the the the the concrete gallery The central aim of of this approach to to to making an an exhibition is is the possibility to to connect Rothwell’s artworks
with a a a a a a a broader public and offer it it it it a a a a a a a long-lasting legacy ECHOES OF NATURE 18
