I received feedback for the proposal from Tate Modern & Tate Britain Visitor Communication Team.
It is clear that the museum has no objection to taking photographs while viewing the exhibition. While they can understand the frustration and inconvenience of other visitors, it cannot be ruled out that people sharing their photographs on social media platforms can have many benefits and bring more visitors to the exhibition. Although the museum does not intend to adopt this proposal, perhaps because there is no demand for it, or it is not a practical approach. But at least after this exchange of views, I understand the true thinking of the museum.
I personally know that it is impossible to satisfy the interests of all in our society, let alone sacrifice the inconvenience of the many in order to defend the rights of the few. Obviously, in the museum’s view, the benefits of viewing and photographing outweigh the benefits of preserving each visitor’s experience. However, based on previous primary and secondary research, it is undeniable that this behaviour does cause distress to some spectators, so I believe that there is a need to improve the situation, but this is too strong and direct a proposal, and I will continue to use my previous research to improve it in a different medium.
