ITs ABOUT TIME! BUILDING A NEW DISCIPLINE: TIME-BASED MEDIA ART CONSERVATION

Symposium, May 20, 21 & 22, 2018, Institute of Fine Arts and Courant Institute 
of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, New York

Time-Based Media (TBM) art conservation has been identified as a priority by 
many leading cultural organizations worldwide due to ever increasing TBM 
collections and their rapid deterioration and obsolescence. In order to address 
the diverse challenges of media art conservation, a new generation of media 
conservators will need to cross the disciplinary boundaries of computer 
science, material science, media technology, engineering, art history, and 
conservation. This symposium is promoting education and training opportunities 
for TBM as a new specialization within art conservation and will provide a 
forum for educators, artists, art historians, museum curators and directors, 
collectors, gallerists, engineers, computer scientists, and conservators to 
foster TBM art conservation as a discipline on an international level. Speakers 
and panelists from the United States, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Mexico, 
Brazil, Italy, Portugal, the UK, Australia, and China will present on: TBM Art 
Conservation Education Current Offerings and Opportunities; Practical Training, 
Professional Development, and Team Building; Challenges and Needs; TBM Art 
Conservation and the Archives; Advocacy, Implementation, and Collaboration. 
Several round table discussions will allow the audience to interact with our 
group of international experts. It’s about time to join forces with all 
stakeholders to shape a new discipline! The program is now available and 
registration is still open. For more information, please see
