[spectre] Report: 'Collecting, Curating, Preserving and Researching Media Arts'

[oliver.grau at mediaarthistories.org]

I was working in a previous Australian Research Council (ARC) project, where
we had a linkage grant Australia-Archive for Digital Art. Here is the report
from the recent *Archiving Australian Media Arts (AAMA)* project
'Collecting, Curating, Preserving and Researching Media Arts: A good
practice report'.

I wanted to share a publication from late last year from the team I lead
that may be of interest to some of you.



The Archiving Australian Media Arts (AAMA) project have published
'Collecting, Curating, Preserving and Researching Media Arts: A good
practice report'. In this report, we detail what we did to address the
challenges posed by preserving and providing access to born-digital cultural
artefacts, how we went about the work of locating media artworks from the
1990s, recovering content from obsolete media carriers, and testing
Emulation-as-a-Service (EaaS). We consider the potential of emulation for
curation, exhibition, and research with examples from case studies. The
result of research funded by the Australian Research Council and undertaken
in partnership with AARNet, Swinburne University, RMIT University, ACMI, Art
Gallery of New South Wales, Griffith University Art Museum, State Library of
South Australia, ANAT and Experimenta, this 'good practice report' offers
insights for academics, practitioners and industry leaders, whist also
foreshadowing the benefits of the shared digital infrastructure we are
currently building across Australia that will ensure sustainable access to
cultural collections.
