Subject Evolution

The evolution timeline of the project topic

According to the tutorial, I found that the original topic covered such a wide range of areas that it was hard to read the research objectives clearly into the subject. For example, the social contract can cover many kinds of behaviour in an art museum. However, it is unclear from this that my research is mainly about those who take photos “with” artworks in museums and influence other visitors.

When trying to re-arrange all the thoughts and information into it, the topic becomes like “How can the action of intrusive multiple photo-taking behavior in gallery spaces be explored to minimize disruption and distraction for art spectators in Asian art spaces?”. However, “be explored” means that I will continue to delve into the behaviour of those who take pictures in the museums, where my motives and further directions are not visible. Also, it’s a bit complicated that when I asked people around me if they could understand it, they all said it would take time.

Therefore, in order to shorten the question and make it more accurate, through the discussion during the tutorial. “How can photo-taking visitors to Asian art galleries be aware of the impact of their behavior on art spectators?” be recommended. However, I found that the big group I wanted to explore were Asians rather than art galleries in Asia, because these people who love to taking photographs can do so anywhere around the world. People usually see this phenomenon more often in Asian galleries because there are more Asians there. Finally, I modified it to “How can Asian photo-taking visitors to contemporary gallery spaces be aware of the impact of their behavior on art spectators?”
