This anthology addresses the challenges of curating, presenting, and   
preserving new-media art artworks that use digital technologies as   
media and emphasize process over object. As an art form that is   
inherently time based, dynamic, interactive, collaborative,   
customizable, and variable, new media art challenges the traditional   
art world's customary methods of presentation and documentation as   
well as its approach to collection and preservation. Featuring   
contributions by prominent practitioners institutional and independent  

curators, theorists, and conservators this volume addresses the   
conceptual, philosophical, and practical issues of both curating and   
presenting new-media art.
