TELELECTURE # 3
“Myths of Immateriality: Curating, Collection and
Archiving Media Art”
During the last decades media art has grown to be the art of
our time,
though it has hardly arrived in our cultural institutions.
The mainstream
of art history has neglected developing adequate research
tools for
these contemporary art works, they are exhibited
infrequently in museums,
and there are few collectors.
Media art is hardly being archived and systematically
preserved like
ancient and traditional forms of art.
This loss of data our society is facing because of the
change in storage
media and operational systems threatens to result in a total
loss of our
contemporary digital art. Which practices and strategies in
the
curating and documenting of media art do experts in the
field suggest?
