The book* Possible Futures: art, museums and digital archives* is dedicated to the discussion of preserving digital memory and culture, bringing together internationally renowned experts of the field of conservation of digital art, collections digitization, database politics and aesthetics. It is published by Editora Peirópolis and Edusp and it is available in paperback and ebook editions.
The result of a seminar held at the University of São Paulo in 2012, the work edited by Giselle Beiguelman and Ana Gonçalves Magalhães has articles written by a team of international experts addressing issues from the preservation of natively digital art to conservation processes of digitized collections, through the aesthetics that emerge from the databases to the new political and cultural complexity that arises with the era of “amateur archivists” and large “memorizer corporations”, such as Google and Facebook. *Editors: *Giselle Beiguelman, Ana Gonçalves Magalhães *Authors*: Ana Gonçalves Magalhães, Ana Pato, André Stolarski, Annet Dekker, Arianne Vanrell Vellosillo, Christiane Paul, Cicero Inacio da Silva, Daniela Kutschat Hanns, Domenico Quaranta, Gabriela Previdello Orth, Gerfried Stocker, Gilberto Prado, Giselle Beiguelman, Guilherme Kujawski, José Luis de Vicente, Júlia Frate Bolliger, Lucas Bambozzi, Manuela Naveau, Monika Fleischmann, Wolfgang Strauss, Oliver Grau, Patricia Kunst Canetti, Paula Alzugaray, Rudolf Frieling *The book is available in Paperback and in e-book and is available at:* *Paperback **Futuros Possíveis / Possible Futures* (648 p., R$ 69,00, bilingual, English/Portuguese) Livraria Saraiva: http://www.saraiva.com.br <http://www.saraiva.com.br/futuros-possiveis-arte-museus-e-arquivos-digitais-ed-bilingue-8354737.html> Livraria Cultura: http://www.livrariacultura.com.br <http://www.livrariacultura.com.br/p/futuros-possiveis-possible-futures-42750407?id_link=8787&adtype=pla&gclid=CjwKEAiAh7WkBRCQj-_zwZvk52ISJADj7z8Csh_xWEd4lPx7MsDumYPZSVLHATMPiPmwmIvsni4KXBoCyfjw_wcB> *e-book* *Possible Futures* - English (R$ 21, 324 p.) *Futuros Possíveis* – Português (R$ 21, 324 p.) *Futuros Possíveis / Possible Futures* – bilíngue/bilingual (R$ 41, 648 p.) www.gatosabido.com.br <http://www.gatosabido.com.br/ebook-download/179919/giselle-beiguelman-possible-futures.html> www.travessa.com.br <http://www.travessa.com.br/ebook-futuros-possiveis-possible-futures/eBook/49fe5338-53dd-471f-b8e0-2bf63dd23be8> http://livraria.folha.com.br <http://livraria.folha.com.br/ebooks/artes/possible-futures-ebook-1272942.html> About the Editors: *Giselle Beiguelman* is an artist and professor at the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of Sao Paulo and Coordinator of its Design course.
