ETHICS AND PRACTICES OF MEDIA ART CONSERVATION, A WORK-IN-PROGRESS (VERSION 0.5)
Author: Gaby Wijers, Netherlands Media Art Institute, August 2010.
As the Obsolete Equipment project, this essay on changes and challenges facing the conservation of media art – and more specifically, obsolete equipment – is a work in progress. This preliminary version, written in August 2010, is comparable to the first phase of the project, which was dedicated to the preservation of video-based art.
