| [Nettime-nl] MONITORING MEDIA ART PRESERVATION |
MONITORING MEDIA ART PRESERVATION +++ Preservation of display and playback equipmentPACKED - Platform for the Archiving and Preservation of Audiovisual Arts (Brussels) and the Netherlands Institute for Media Art (Amsterdam) currently execute a research project into the preservation of display and playback equipment for video art. As part of this research project PACKED and NIMk ask the cooperation from organizations, archives and individuals.
Since the emergence of the medium video, different recording, playback and display systems have been developed that got obsolete afterwards due to the technological evolution. This equipment (video recorders, monitors, projectors, .) has often become rare. But at the same time access to it is crucial to exhibit old video works and safeguard them for the future.
PACKED and NIMk kindly ask organizations, archives and individuals that own this kind of equipment, maintain it, or need access to it to fill the questionnaire that you can find here (http://www.nimk.nl/en/index_nieuws.php?id=202). Answers from both the field of art as others fields are welcome.
More information on the project can also be found at http://www.packed.be/en//projects/readmore/obsolete_apparatuur/
PACKED and NIMk thank you for your kind cooperation. This research project runs until the end of June 2010. It is supported by an international project grant from the Flemish Government in the framework of the Cultural Heritage Decree.
++++ To Transfer or to Transform #3 November 19th Start: 20.00 hrsTogether with the Netherlands Media Art Institute, the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage (ICN) is researching the installations Mill x Molen (1982,1990) by Bert Schutter and Panta Rhei (1988) by Ricardo Füglistahler. On Thursday night, November 19th at NIMk, Evelyne Snijders will present the research project and will give an introduction to the initial results of this investigation. Bert Schutter will present Mill x Molen and Ricardo Füglistahler will discuss with Paul Klomp the preservation process of Panta Rhei. The installations will be re-installed and presented on 19-21 November.
During the set-up the work will be comprehensively documented so that instructions for re-installation and plans for developing an approach to its long-term conservation can be drawn up. The documentation of the case studies, drawing up best practice and guidelines for re-installation are elements of the IMAGO Revisited Project. Both installations are also case studies in the Obsolete Equipment project. More information on the project: http://www.nimk.nl/en/index_nieuws.php?id=205
++++ 3th Inside Movement Knowledge Lab 23 - 30 October 2009The third Inside Movement Knowledge lab will take place at DasArts, Amsterdam School of the Arts from 23 to 30 October 2009 followed by an expert meeting on dance reconstruction.
