To all the signatories of the Declaration "MEDIA ART NEEDS GLOBAL
NETWORKED ORGANISATION & SUPPORT" (aka The Liverpool Declaration), all
ISEA2019 archive session participants and others.
*Announcement & Call for Participation*
The Liverpool Declaration currently has close to 500 leading experts and
the most influential institutions in the field of new media and
electronic arts as signatories to "MEDIA ART NEEDS GLOBAL NETWORKED
ORGANISATION & SUPPORT" http://www.mediaarthistory.org/declaration
Functioning as a mission statement, the Liverpool Declaration serves as
a foundation for further action that was already being discussed at the
25^th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2019), in Gwangju,
Republic of Korea. A group of like-minded colleagues discussed
approaches towards the problems and potential of the archiving of new
media art. The overwhelming attendance to this meeting stressed the
growing need for collaboration, structure and funding.
As a next step, at ISEA2020 (Montreal, Canada, May 19-24), a full day
networking summit will be coordinated by the ISEA online Symposium
Archives, the Archive of Digital Art, the Ars Electronica Archive, and
SIGGRAPH Digital Art Show Archive. The defenite date for the Summit is
still being discussed and maybe the day preceding the actual ISEA
symposium, on Monday May 18th. *Aims of this summit are to discuss roads
towards realizing the Liverpool Declaration goals related to Media Art
Archiving collaboration, funding and formats.*
