The Network as Exhibition. Designing a digital-first curatorial experience for distributed collections

How do you create a single digital exhibition from collections distributed across multiple museums? Bodies That (Don’t) Matter is a digital-first project commissioned by the Catalan Art Museums Network, bringing together works from nine institutions within a shared curatorial framework. The project approaches the network itself as the exhibition material and it explores the challenges of connecting dispersed collections, designing navigation as interpretation, and building a meaningful digital experience beyond the logic of the catalogue. A behind-the-scenes look at curatorship, design and technology working together.
