The following document considers the role of digital information organization in the creation of knowledge and value within and beyond the physical space of the art museum by interrogating two major scholarly products of the well-endowed, early-21st-century Western art museum's ecosystem: online catalogues and online exhibitions. The questions sustaining this research converge at the junction of three major areas: the new museology movement, exhibition culture, and museum computing. Public-facing, museum-based digital scholarship practices--especially those focused on translating catalogues and exhibitions into online spaces--have emerged fairly recently (mostly from the mid-1990s onwards). The impact of these practices within the space of the art museum has not yet received a critical treatment, so the costs and benefits of this new mode of interpretation and scholarly production remain a mystery.In this study, the author first defines physical exhibitions and catalogues to contextualize their digital counterparts, and building on this, examines two sites in depth using a case study approach. Although "The Gallery of Lost Art and On Performativity" are inherently different in that one represents an online exhibition and the other an online catalogue, they are similar in that they shared overlapping lifespans and emerged in similar technological and museological landscapes. They also both document ephemeral artworks. The data collected throughout demonstrates the significance of socio-technical infrastructures and project management approaches, and how museums have struggled to adapt these practices to produce new information outputs. Museum computing remains "disruptive" in 2019, but rather than revolutionizing through decentralization or democratization, computing seems to interrupt the mechanisms occurring behind the scenes of the art museum.
