The purpose of the project What is going on concerning audiovisual archives? is
to inform as regards the various possibilities for digital archiving of
audiovisual materials and the strategies for their dissemination with a focus
on institucional examplary practices:
Montevideo/Time Based Arts, The Netherlands Media Art Institute, Amsterdam,
MediaArtNet.org in 40jearsvideoart.de,
e-ARHIV, SCCA-Ljubljana.
The project is a logical continuation of the SCCA concerns with research and
documentation of video production, which have resulted in the
artistic/educational/discursive project What is to be done with audiovisual
Archives?, focused on archival projects, implemented mostly by the artists and
as individual initiatives (2005) and Videodokument: Video art in Slovenia
1969-1998 (catalogue, book of essays, CD-ROM and web site, 1999/2003).
The main aims of the project are:
- to establish a platform for preservation, presentation and dissemination of
the audiovisual contents (contextual level),
- to trigger the institutional change, i.e. to make possible the inclusion of
the audiovisual/video archives under the sector of the national cultural
heritage (political level),
- to present models and means of preservation, presentational strategies and
possibilities of dissemination (theoretical level).

LECTURES
. Gaby Wijers: Montevideo/Time Based Arts Collection
Because of their short life and technical or otherwise variable, and because of
the variability and rapid obsolescence of the media formats, there is a need
for a different approach in terms of strategies for documentation, presentation
and preservation of media art. When developing strategies into the preservation
and presentation of media art availability and accessibility to the content is
the main goal. In this lecture Gaby Wijers will explore the relation between
technology, certain types of media art and their documentation and preservation
context, focusing on the collection of the Netherlands Media Art Institute.
Describing preservation strategies for media art preservation and a number of
national and international research projects and resources.
Gaby Wijers has a degree in documentary informatics and visual representation
and and a elaborate experience as a project leader of projects centred around
new media art preservation an access. She is specialized in capturing of
variable artworks, from dance to new media. Coordinator of preservation,
research and development at the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/TBA
Amsterdam (NL); participated in various international projects dealing with the
documentation and preservation of Media Art like Inside Installation, 404
Object not Found, OASIS archive and coordinated the project <Preservation of
Video Art> under the auspices of the Foundation for the Conservation of Modern
Art (SBMK); guest lecturer at the University from Amsterdam; lives in Amsterdam.
. Heike Helfert: Re-moving images
MediaArtNet.org< and 40jearsvideoart.de as two different approaches to save the
heritage of media art.
The value of an archive or a collection lies in its specific strategy.
Generating knowledge by accumulation or by concentration are two different
methods of organizing information. The projects MediaArtNet.org and
40yearsvideoart.de try out different approaches in the field of unstable media.
MediaArtNet tries to give an overview of media art while using media adequate
means of representation. During the process of development a multitude of
decisions had to be made. Starting from the focal point up to the question how
the information should be displayed. What kind of metadata is needed and how
can the database be structured? How can an online archive be maintained? Also
the question of sustainability already rises during the creation of the online
archive. As we all know an archive is not only as good as its structure, but
also as its properties. When dealing with media wether digital or electronic,
special aspects of ageing must be taken into consideration. Magnetic tapes are
subject to a constant process of decay and therefore video art is confronted
with this dilemma. Actually video art as a part of our cultural heritage is
acutely endangered. As an example in the field of digital heritage the German
project 40yearsvideoart.de investigates how future imminent
losses can be averted and what restorative measures can be taken. The
different objectives and solutions of these projects are highlighted in the
lecture.
Heike Helfert is a cultural scientist working in the field of media art. During
the last years she worked for institutions like Expo2000, Edith Russ Site for
Media Art, ZKM, Center for Art and Media and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute
Media.Art.Research. For the ZKM she worked on the media art platform
www.mediaartnet.org and the project on digital heritage 40yearsvideoart.de.
