Abstract

This theoretical article will briefly outline the idea of the Electronic Museum-the use of computer technology to replace the traditional form of the art museum with its emphasis on the care of precious objects with a museum of electronic images that can be exchanged throughout the world by electronic methods. It will speculate upon the influence of this new technology on the behavior and roles: 1. Artist, 2. Speculator, 3. Art Critic, 4. Art Historian, and 5. Art Museum Director. The development of the modern microcomputer in the past decade has sparked a revolution in art, art education, and human behavior in art. Many writers in aesthetics, art criticism, and art education have not as yet addressed the psychological issues that are related to the development of new technologies in art, including the electronic image.
