Preserving the Near Future https://www.acmi.net.au/events/preserving-near-future/
Join us for a day-long symposium about the challenges of preservation in the digital age. From interactive art, time-based media, videogames, networked data art, and mixed reality, to the petabytes of analogue content now being rapidly digitised by institutions, digital preservation is an immediate and pressing concern. How might we engage with digital preservation as works are being made, mounted and distributed? How might future artistic and creative practices be transformed? Is 'future proofing' ever possible?
