ART PRESS 2
CONSERVING TECHNOLOGY-BASED ART: ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS
(n°12, February/March/April 2009) Bilingual (French / English)
Does the notion of an original artwork still mean anything when applied to a video installation for which the equipment is quickly outmoded and therefore regularly renewed? How does one “conserve” a work that circulates freely on Internet? And how does one “restore” a work conceived using now obsolete software? In this issue, produced in collaboration with DOCAM, curators and museum directors, artists and art historians offer their experience and opinions in this challenging area.
