Samenvatting
Many arts projects and organisations are facing the challenge of having to procure the longevity of their digital collections. Upcoming preservation initiatives are important sites of investigation, as they both raise questions and offer possible strategies or solutions through which other initiatives can learn. In this publication Virtueel Platform takes three cases (the online software art repository Runme.org, the internet based-art commissioning and exhibition platform Turbulence.org, and the electronic art preservation research project AktiveArchive) for exploring the different ways organisations deal with the preservation of software and internet-based artworks. The main question the authors raised was: how does the structure of an arts organisation relate to the issues it faces, and the possible strategies and solutions it uses when attempting to deal with the preservation and archiving of software and internet-based art? Additional questions that were raised were: does the organisational structure lead to specific strategies, and how do these influence the development of a methodology for caring for born digital artworks? |
