Reaching my audience

My previous photography exhibitions have all been static, framed prints hanging on walls around the foyer of the local theatre or in the gallery or exhibition space of a local arts centre.  Can I find other ways of engaging the audience? Maybe online videos, to which I give links or QR codes from descriptions on the wall and I can describe my work, even show the making process, that they could be accessed while walking round the exhibition. I have some videos on Vimeo, but that site is limited, so I shall either put them on Youtube or a website.

If I can do this method, I could probably make videos of the exhibition, perhaps even with some audience feedback, and put the exhibition online. This would be a chance to try out my video editing skills from the Berlin workshop in August .

The other thing is; during this module I have been trying to disseminate my work.

Networks, websites, etc.

I am also trying to find my audience using the following resources.
