Kunstenaars hebben altijd in hun werk geëxperimenteerd met de mogelijkheden van media als film, video en digitale technologie. Preserving and Exhibiting Media Art belicht de nieuwe uitdagingen die deze multimediale kunstwerken stellen aan de traditionele manieren van verzamelen, conserveren en tentoonstellen van beeldende kunst. Daarnaast schetst het door middel van diverse casestudies de contouren van de training en opleiding van professionals in dit veld. Het boek biedt bovendien een historisch en theoretisch overzicht en levert een belangrijke bijdrage aan de literatuur over archieftheorie en -praktijk en is daarmee een referentiepunt voor iedereen die zich bezighoudt met de conservering en presentatie van mediakunst. This important and first-of-its-kind collection addresses the emerging challenges in the field of media art preservation and exhibition, providing an outline for the training of professionals in this field. Since the emergence of time-based media such as film, video and digital technology, artists have used them to experiment with their potential. The resulting artworks, with their basis in rapidly developing technologies that cross over into other domains such as broadcasting and social media, have challenged the traditional infrastructures for the collection, preservation and exhibition of art. Addressing these challenges, the authors provide a historical and theoretical survey of the field, and introduce students to the challenges and difficulties of preserving and exhibiting media art through a series of first-hand case studies. Situated at the threshold between archival practices and film and media theory, it also makes a strong contribution to the growing literature on archive theory and archival practices.
