Thesis (M.A.)--McGill University (Canada), 2011.

This thesis explores the ways in which the art museum as a powerful cultural medium shapes the public understanding of artworks and how this work is affected by digital media when the museum displays art online. In an analysis of the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) I focus on how the artwork is encountered and understood in physical and digital contexts through the examination of three modes of museum practice: memory, information, and narrative. I compare each mode's manifestation in the physical museum space to its digital translation, revealing that the NGC largely reproduces its objective, highly authored, and one-way communicative practices in digital space. Other online interfaces such as the steve.museum project and the Art Matters blog of the Art Gallery of Ontario are examined as possible alternatives to the NGC's approach through their use of more open, collaborative, and social practices made possible by digital media.
