Re: nettime Data archiving for artists?
Hi all, I'm late to this party, but here are more resources for artists and anyone else keen on keeping culture alive for the long haul. All are premised on the conviction that storage is not preservation. * Re-collection: Art, New Media, and Social Memory First academic book on digital preservation, by Rick Rinehart and me, due out from MIT this summer. http://re-collection.net * Digital Curation at the University of Maine Online graduate program I helped start to teach creators and preservers to maintain media works for the long term. Enroll in an 18-credit certificate or take courses a la carte. http://DigitalCuration.UMaine.edu * Variable Media Network Preservation tools and resources for artists, like the Variable Media Questionnaire and the Seeing Double emulation testbed. http://variablemedia.net/e/index.html * Permanence Through Change Free book of variable media preservation case studies in variable media preservation. http://variablemedia.net/e/preserving/html/var_pub_index.html BTW our Digital Curation grad students are required to work with an artist to formulate preservation plans for one of her artworks. If you're interested, please email me before 15 March.

nettime Data archiving for artists?
Just wondering - How do you all save your data for your personal archives? I'm just not sure how stable all my old films and videos are. I use BluRay disks to backup raw footage from more recent projects, but a lot of my stuff is just on redundant hard drives that I copy once in a while. A few major things are in regional library collections and distribution where they are safer. Older projects are on tape, which has a longer shelf life than SD cards, USB sticks or HDD, but still dubious in the very long term. Does anyone have efficient / affordable strategies for keeping their life's work safe? I'm talking many gigabytes of raw footage, video masters, project files, etc. - Flick -- * WHERE'S MY ARTICLE, WORLD? http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Flick_Harrison * FLICK's WEBSITE: http://www.flickharrison.com ↑ Grab this Headline Animator # distributed via nettime: no commercial use without permission # nettime is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nett...@kein.org

I publish everything on gitorious or keep it in private repos on bitbucket, I keep copies on multiple USB hard disks, I backup offsite via rsync and OwnCloud, and I keep multiple DVD backups at different locations with family members. I also convert work to new formats as they become popular and check that work runs/displays in current versions of software periodically. The expensive parts are the rsync and the hard disks. The laborious part is making sure everything runs. - Rob. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From: Tracey P.
