HumasUPNVJ - There were many impacts felt during this pandemic, all activities were carried out online/virtually as well as photo exhibitions. Works of art must also be able to adapt by producing works that are different from usual.
The emergence of various digital media has indeed made art able to reach a wider audience than before in an easier way. Even though it doesn't only present a photo exhibition, from an article on the online news site Republika, EventXtra Co-Founder Sum Wong said that due to the pandemic, 90 percent of large-scale exhibition activities had to be postponed or even cancelled. While the rest becomes virtual. This is an extraordinary situation due to this pandemic, which makes virtual exhibitions a solution amidst the ban on crowds during social restrictions and physical restrictions due to the Corona pandemic.
