Collecting and Conserving Net Art explores the qualities and
characteristics of net art and its influence on conservation
practices. By addressing and answering some of the challenges
facing net art and providing an exploration of its intersection
with conservation, the book casts a new light on net art,
conservation, curating and museum studies. Viewing net art as a
process rather than as a fixed object, the book considers how this
is influenced by and executed through other systems and users.
Arguing that these processes and networks are imbued with
ambiguity, the book suggests that this is strategically used to
create suspense, obfuscate existing systems and disrupt power
structures. The rapid obsolescence of hard and software, the
existence of many net artworks within restricted platforms and the
fact that artworks often act as assemblages that change or mutate,
make net art a challenging case for conservation. Taking the
performative and interpretive roles conservators play into account,
the book demonstrates how practitioners can make more informed
decisions when responding to, critically analysing or working with
net art, particularly software-based processes. Collecting and
Conserving Net Art is intended for researchers, academics and
postgraduate students, especially those engaged in the study of
museum studies, conservation and heritage studies, curatorial
studies, digital art and art history. The book should also be
interesting to professionals who are involved in the conservation
and curation of digital arts, performance, media and software.
This book Presents documentation as an expanded practice that is
radically changing the ways in which to look at, participate in,
and generate art. Brings together expertise from different
disciplines and provides an in-depth investigation of the
development of documentation as a set of production, circulation
and preservation strategies. Illustrates how these strategies are
often led by artists, audiences and museums, the contributions
offer new insights into digital art and its history, curation and
preservation, through documentation. By considering documentation
as the main method of preserving these art forms, analyses how it
can address the inherent challenges of capturing live events,
visitor experiences, and evolving artworks. Will appeal to
researchers and students engaged in the study of museums and
curation, art and art history, performance, new media and digital
art, library and information science, and conservation.
