Abstract

The digitalisation of the aesthetic experience affects the level of artistry and creativity transfer by the artwork and the quality of participation in the arts. Due to cultural differences between Poles other countries' citizens in perception qualities, this study assesses the effect of the participation form (in-real or digital) in the aesthetic situation by receivers on artistry and creativity potential. The quality of participation in five arts types (musical, performing, literary, audio-visual, visual) was assessed using ten criteria. Data analysis, based on a worldwide sample (38 countries, n = 221). The participation form in arts determines participation quality in the aesthetic situation differently by Polish and non-Polish receivers. Furthermore, there are noteworthy cultural variances among Polish and non-Polish art receivers of particular types of arts and particular forms of participation in arts. The study outcomes may interest: art creators looking for the optimal way of delivering artworks among receivers from Poland and other countries; art managers and marketers for deeper understanding of Polish art receivers' viewpoints and their preferences about participation in arts in-real or digitally; art receivers to compare their judgement about the participation ways in arts with the preferences of Polish art receivers. The first attempt in the literature assessing the quality of the participation in the aesthetic situation regarding the form of participation between Polish and non-Polish societies.

Reflexivity in Aesthetic Situation Management

“…Forced virtualisation and digitisation considerably affect the creative process quality within the aesthetic situation, varying on the form of participation in art. The research results show that exact components of the aesthetic situation are subject to varied modifications by the musical arts creator (Szostak, 2022c) and visual arts creator (Szostak, 2022a) due to the form of participation in the aesthetic situation. Among many factors related to reflexivity being significantly redesigned by musical arts creators were an inspiration to create (7.9% of the difference between traditional and virtual methods), internal motivation to start the creative process (9.7% of the difference), and motivation to continue and finish the creative process (21.2% of the difference) (Szostak, 2022c).…”
