| In the era of global intelligent digital development,virtual art museums have become a future direction for the upgrading of traditional art museums.Museums and art history complement each other.Museums are visual display places for art history.Art history is the cultural and artistic foundation of museums.The advent of virtual art museums will change the writing and construction of traditional art history unprecedentedly.Exploring the characteristics of the virtual art museum itself,thinking about its possible factors to reshape the development of art history,can put the historical writing of art into the future process through the channel of academic research.Combing the historical origin of museums and their relationship with art museums,examining the connection between art history and art museums,revealing the limitations of traditional art museums in seven aspects: time and space,collection,protection,exhibition,interpretation,service and meaning of works and one-sidedness,all of which can be alleviated to a certain extent with the support of virtual digital technology.The virtual art museum will bring new possibilities for reconstructing art history.Looking at the concept and history of virtual art museums,we can see that virtual art museums are a branch of virtual museums and an external manifestation of the digital art process.This paper analyzes the construction technology of the virtual art museum,and summarizes its existence in three classification forms: CD-ROM form,web page form and web page interactive form.From it,three research values of virtual art museums are extracted,namely,the research values from art collection perspective,curatorial perspective and viewer perspective;at the same time,four basic elements of the development of virtual art museums are explored from the perspectives of era background,collections,information and audience.First of all,virtual art museums exist in the form of images,which have changed the way art history is presented.Secondly,the virtual art museum pursues a sense of participation and interaction,and its presentation method and the digital interactive technology it adopts have revolutionized the viewing experience.Investigate web page(Web)interactive technology,virtual reality(VR)interactive technology,augmented reality(AR)interactive technology,mixed reality(MR)interactive technology,extended reality(XR)interactive technology and perceived reality with fieldwork and literature research methods(SR)Interactive Technology,demonstrating the power of virtual art museums in terms of new interactive experiences.Thirdly,from the three aspects of digital collections,virtual curation and virtual viewing,it can be verified that the virtual art museum has continuous characteristics,and can combine diverse and fragmented components,thus opening up a new research space for art historians and hierarchy.The above shows that the virtual art museum will greatly expand the content and scope of art history research.The possibility of its reshaping of art history lies in: opening up new space for art history from the perspective of time and space;expanding new space for art history from the perspective of art narrative.model;explore new development forms for art history from the level of new media;shape new artistic concepts and cognitions for art history from the level of immersive viewing.The virtual art museum will also lead art history research to adopt new research methods,and bring new opportunities for art history research in four aspects: digital technology,media carrier,plate layout and talent training.With the technical support of the virtual art museum,art history research can derive three new methods: the inductive analysis method of big data based on "thousands of people and thousands of faces",the visual representation method of art history research,and the research following the idea of web3 method.The ontology of art history has great potential and space for development in the virtual art museum.The birth of the virtual art museum in the future will establish a new direction and mark for the development of the ontology of art history,and also open up a new space and field for the study of art history,and promote the development of art.Historical research into the future of technology. |
