Abstract

To study the ways of presenting visual art in a digital exhibition format, which is not only showing static paintings but also taking advantage of dimension and time to deliver the story and the history of the image for the era of the painting. For the viewer to move back in time to experience and perceive the images at its truest nature, for which, this involves the theory of visual perception, visual explanation and storytelling. These are the basic knowledge of how to integrate creative works in digital media especially Motion Graphic applied to present technology.  This academic paper attempts to explain and collect basic theories by focusing on summarizing the study results, proposing principles, theories, concepts and analysis through the works of Gustav Klimt on display at the exhibition “SOMETHING NOUVEAU.  KLIMT, MUCHA, BEARDSLEY” held during January to April 2020 at the Museum of Digital Art (MODA), River City Bangkok. Not only does it become interactive and relish but draws out the core identity of the painting according to the mentioned theory and does not detract from the appreciation of the painting in the slightest. Rather it makes it easier for the new generation to understand the meaning and composition of those paintings.
