COVID-19 Döneminde Özel Sanat Kurumlarının Dijital Varlıklarını Nasıl Değerlendirdikleri Üzerine Bir Analiz

Dijital medya araçları, COVID-19 karantina dönemi sırasında insanları bir araya getirerek ve yaratıcı olabilmeleri için sanal bir alan sağlayarak, günlük hayatımızdaki önemi bir kez daha kanıtladı. Bu nedenle, sanat kurumları çevrimiçi varlıklarını yeniden gözden geçirdiler ve dijital yeteneklerini kurumsal web sitelerine ve sosyal medya hesaplarına odaklanarak genişlettiler. Kapalı kalınan süre içinde, müzelerin dijital medya kullanımlarını ağırlıkla sayısal veriler aracılığıyla ele alan çeşitli araştırmalar yapılmıştır. Farklı bir bakış açısı sunabilmek adına bu çalışma, nitel bir yöntem ile desteklenen açıklayıcı bir yaklaşımla, sanat kurumlarının dijital medya ve iletişim ekiplerinin pandemi sırasında deneyimledikleri dijital değişimi nasıl değerlendirdiklerini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmacının erişim kolaylığı göz önüne alındığında, bu çalışma İstanbul›un önde gelen özel sanat kurumlarına odaklanmıştır. Ocak 2021’de, Arter, İstanbul Modern, Pera Müzesi ve SALT adlı kurumların çalışanları ile dört derinlemesine görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buna paralel olarak, görüşülen ekip üyelerinin deneyimleri, dijital faaliyetlerine odaklanarak paylaşmıştır.

An Analysis of How Private Art Institutions Evaluate their Digital Presence During COVID-19

Digital media has proven its importance during the COVID-19 lockdown by bringing citizens together and providing a virtual space to be creative. Therefore, art institutions have reconsidered their online presence and expanded their digital capabilities focusing on their corporate websites and social media accounts. Diverse research has been conducted addressing museums’ digital media usage during the lockdown, mostly in terms of numbers. To offer a different viewpoint, through an explanatory approach supported by a qualitative methodology, this study aims to understand how the digital media and communication teams of art institutions have evaluated this digital shift encountered during the pandemic. Considering the researcher’s ease of access, this study has focused on the leading private art institutions in Istanbul. Four in-depth interviews were conducted with employees of Arter, Istanbul Modern, Pera Museum and SALT in January 2021. Correspondingly, concentrating on their digital activities, the experiences of the team members have been shared.
