Works of art modern multimedia presentation technologies

Use of modern technologies in Art Science becomes more popular among artists day after day and multimedia technologies are one of them. Technological innovations of today influenced the way and form of thinking in art and created new ways of interaction with it. Exhibition spaces and museums in advanced countries are equipped in the best ways: MoMa museum New York; Gallery One The Cleveland Museum of Art; ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe; Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center New York; City University of Hong Kong; The iCinema Centre for Interactive Cinema Research Sydney. Multimedia mobile navigation in the MoMa museum is able to produce statistics data concerning exhibitions visits, and enhanced artistic perception of art objects (audio tour and visual analysis of a work of art). Gallery One Cleveland Museum of Art mobile app gives the spectator a possibility to learn the story of the characters depicted and the story of the artwork creation, to unite small parts to get complete picture, to obtain historical information, art history analysis, additional illustrations and other materials. Panoramic interactive screen in the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe Germany is made for a larger visual coverage and provides visual information to the spectator interactively, giving a possibility to manipulate it in real time. Interactive panorama is also used by artists as an expressive means for their installations and performances. Combinations of various environmental instruments and the contemplation of ideas and perception of their differences are investigated on the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center exhibition space. «Extra Shapes» project explores spontaneity, functioning and the spectator's perception of environmental effects: light, sound, video, dance, etc. Modern multimedia presentation technologies expand the artistic reality, deepen interaction with the audience, enrich the artistic imagery revealing its new borders. Multimedia art technologies create synthetic unity of visual, auditory, kinesthetic and other components running within controlled environment. But still, there are pros and cons for virtualization of artistic perception of traditional art in a museum: on the one hand it updates the work of art, on the other hand it promotes loss of its unique character perception. The technology is a mediator, which partially controls artistic perception.
