Virtual Curating Workshop by Walter’s Cube
November 22. 2023, Wednesday
International Business School, Budapest
Building ‘C’, Room 111.
The goal of this workshop is to introduce to the students of IBS: the paradigm of virtual curating, the effects of today’s rapidly evolving digitalisation in the artworld, and the leading technological innovations of Walter’s Cube. To do so, we provide students with digital twin spaces of a physically existing gallery, artworks that were digitized (with many of them since then non-existent, due to the political and economic challenges artists must face in Afghanistan) and all the necessary information for a person to be able to curate an exhibition in the virtual world.
