Abstract
This study presents a triadic collaboration model in the field of digital art curation, based on insights from three distinct actor groups: artists, curators, and technology providers. The research explores how these actors interact, negotiate roles, and integrate technological tools and solutions in the curation and exhibition of digital artworks. In addition to mapping the interactions among actors, the study aims to reveal how digital curation is transforming from a curator-centered practice into a more participatory and multi-actor process. Qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with three experts, each representing one actor group. Using a code–category–theme analysis, the study examines shifting roles, technological dependencies, and collaborative frameworks shaping contemporary digital exhibitions. This analysis identifies key convergence and divergence points across actor profiles, focusing on roles, interaction patterns, challenges encountered, and technology-driven solutions. This analytical approach not only identifies recurring challenges within the curatorial process but also articulates the new strategies collectively developed by the actors in the collaboration model to address them. The study concludes with a visualized model demonstrating how a collaborative structure can be integrated into curatorial practices in the digital era in a sustainable and adaptable way. The findings contribute both theoretically and practically to the understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration in digital art exhibitions, offering a conceptual framework for academic discourse as well as a roadmap for practitioners in digital art exhibitions.
