Friedrich Kittler, "Museums on the Digital Frontier", in The End(s) of the
 Museum, Fondacion Antoni Tapies, 1995


"The haven that, according to Valery, a museum offers for paintings and statues would be called "storage" in the cold terminology of computerese. For of the three functions of a Universal Discrete Machine (storage, transfer and processing of input data) two functions, transfer and processing, are omitted in a museum. Nothing must be changed in things that are preserved [Š] The museum is a hybrid medium that - historically or opportunistically, but in any case unsystematically - coupled its elementary storage functions to other media of processing and transferring. The rift between art and technology, as inflicted by the classical museum, remains untouched by modern forms of presentation [Š] Their mutual indifference may have been possible and feasible so long as the transfer media dominated the other technological media, while the museum continued to specialize in storage. But in the context of an information system that tendentially abolishes the principle of transfer because it reduces all transfer to the processing and computing of data, mere storage per se appears somewhat dysfunctional."
