Type of Abstract (select): Paper presentation

Abstract (max. 250 words):
During my research paper, I focus on the impact of technology, digital rearrangement, and digital development on museums- I review the previously peripheral segment of the cultural industry, operating with a different mechanism from the core cultural industrial logic - David Hesmondhalgh's work (titled The Cultural Industries) is my theoretical starting point.

I apply the mentioned framework to the solutions of the quarantine culture. (1) I overview the field of museum which is focusing on emerging new types of solutions, and it shows the new museum pedagogy’s solutions as well. (2)During my presentation I give a picture of an „aggressive”, non-organically developed media mediation in the field of museum. My samplings comes from the analysis of the practices of the Hungarian cultural scene. I analyze the new solutions which particularry appeared during the quarantine culture, during the pandemic: I focus on presence, I summarize virtual exhibition’s solutions and practices. After the theoretical framework, and sampling, I discuss my main thesis: the peripheral cultural segment found its practices to join the core cultural segment’s operation with the help of the non-organic media presence.
