Questions/Topics

  1. How might one begin to consider accessibility issues/standards and device limitations when developing an online exhibit that is highly customized and unique? In other words, how can inclusivity be ensured while diverging from a standard art/design web-based exhibition?

  2. The author writes that "this essay is not a call to artists to hire designers who will build them custom-made sites....Instead, it looks at the artist’s website as what it could be: an online exhibition platform." What are the features that distinguish the two? How would limited technical knowledge create a barrier to entry into this kind of experimentation?
