Following up on Cathryn's last point, perhaps the Variable Media Network
approach has something to offer here. It's nominally about the preservation of
variable media but really, by focussing on what's significant in a work

Yee's book (something with "mashup" in the title, it's upstairs and I'm not)
looks at Flickr extensively, it having pretty much the best API out there from
the social software sites (in his view). I know these things

Will - I'll take a shot at the nerd challenge too:
The first object:
It is unique and should remain as a separate catalogued object record, with the
appropriate exhibition history, acquisition information, description (including
its work-in-process nature), and full links and relationships, etc

Will - did you accession the original piece, or does it remain in your

I would consider the original piece a 'proof' of the second piece. Likely to

I've also used the Drupal Flickr module with some success. There's another that

Will,
You should post this question to the Visual

If any of you are involved in complex cataloguing questions, especially for
contemporary art, and enjoy puzzling over them for inordinate amounts of time,

The artist created a work specifically for a temporary exhibition.
Hi Perian,
We are in the middle of implementing our new DAMS (interwoven MEDIABIN) along
with a suite of other applications, hardware etc. Happy to talk to you off list
