Digital Exhibition Toolkit

The Digital Exhibitions Toolkit provides institutions, curators, and artists with tools to help facilitate the production of interactive digital art exhibitions. The toolkit will incorporate solutions for mobile and desktop access to artworks created in virtual reality, augmented reality, exhibitions for video game consoles, in-person interactive experiences, and online browser-based exhibitions.

As part of the development of the Digital Exhibitions Toolkit, the Mackenzie will be presenting three digital art exhibits using the new platform over the coming years. Stay tuned to experience this innovative programming, and for the opportunity to try the toolkit yourself!
