> In relational aesthetics, the value of art is determined by interactive dynamics and the community they foster rather than by individual, subjective encounters with art objects. (see: ![](shard:communication-and-meaning.md] This framework shifts the focus from the solitary and perhaps elitist consumption of art to a collective process where the presence and participation of the audience are integral to the work's existence. The quality of experience, therefore, is specific to how it's shared among participants and the connections it fosters.[^1]

UbuWeb provides perpetual access to materials that inspire new connections and contexts. It disrupts the conventional gatekeeping of art history and its narratives, allowing users to engage with the content in personalized and unmediated ways.
