The fruition of galleries and museums is among the changes that the Covid-19 pandemic is destined to accelerate. Today, it is the exceptionality of confinement that has pushed some institutions to migrate their content to online platforms; tomorrow, thanks to the renewed habits of users, this process of virtualization could impose itself as the new norm. The passage, certainly not to be taken for granted, is a strong stimulus to rethink the curation of museum proposals, not only as regards the organization of content but also the vehicles chosen for its dissemination: from the hosting platforms – open or proprietary, native or in partnership – to the computer languages used to transform online experience into a detailed and plausible discovery.
This is a challenge that design museums should perhaps take up before others – isn’t the web one of the most widespread design interfaces? – and that shows the first development trials through the online exhibitions available in these days. In the meantime, forced idleness is an opportunity to return to the great archives of numerous institutions and galleries: opportunities of precious rediscoveries during these special days of quarantine, but also a way to renew, even without the physical presence inside a common space, the bonds that bind the global design community.
