Summary/Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the functioning of cultural institutions was significantly limited. This resulted in changes in the patterns of participation in culture, and notably in much of cultural activity being transferred to the Internet. The article presents an analysis of the audience members’ practices and their attitudes regarding digitalization. The analysis has been conducted from the perspective of practice theory. This perspective allows to understand what made pandemic practices attractive, and to grasp the dynamics of the cultural content reception during the pandemic. The material for the empirical analysis comes from twelve focus group interviews (FGI) conducted in November 2021 with audience members (i.e. people regularly participating in cultural events before the pandemic and online events during the pandemic).
