We review the unwillingness of artistic institutions to engage
with their audiences as mirrored in their incapacity to develop
meaningful alternatives to art access during the time of the
COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences. An analysis of the
pandemic offerings of some of the biggest museums in the world
will allow us to identify their perceived offerings and their
understanding of their function in society in contrast with their
own statements of purpose. As the cost of accessing any cultural
manifestation decreases, we turn from an economy of scarcity to
an economy of visual consumption where there is an abundance
of resources and attention is scarce. Art institutions and their
encircling dynamics of limitation become less interesting for the
public, and this results in the exclusion of art from the semantic
bubble of a great part of the population.
