I think the challenges of digital curation are getting noticed. The internet is such a huge place which is so easily accessible that it is hard to be noticed. That being said the negatives for digital curation can also be positives. The ease of access and the number of people who can view the exhibition online far outweigh that of conventional exhibitions so albeit difficult to conceive an exhibition online there are lots of options and many reasons to do so.

Digital technology can be used to create 2D and 3D art, create sculpture, prints and even paintings.
