This all-day Symposium is intended as a guided discussion on current
trends and issues in collecting, preserving, and providing access to
independent media and digital art. Panelists include artists,
conservators, curators, distributors and archivists representing the
museum, not-for-profit alternative art, commercial distribution, and
academic research domains. While the panelists will offer initial
presentations, the Symposium structure invites audience members to
interact with the panelists during the discussion period so a lively
dialogue ensues.

*_Collection as Context: Repository Types and Institutional Identities_*
Missions, mandates, and collection management practices differ within
museums, archives, and libraries – and yet they are all part of the
cultural heritage domain. In collecting and preserving cultural
materials, does repository type affect the overall character and context
of a collection? Does institutional identity affect the collection
management practices and institutional context in which these cultural
materials are preserved and made accessible? How does that context shape
the interpretation of works that comprise the collection? What types of
repositories have traditionally included independent media and digital
art as part of their collections? Have these repository contexts
contributed to the safeguarding of these materials, or placed them at risk?
This discussion includes participants from the museum, academic library
and archives, and not-for-profit alternative art domains who will
discuss the effects of institutional identity and contextual aspects of
collections on the cultural interpretation and long-term preservation of
independent media and digital art.

*_Access and Distribution_*
Art and media works are created to be seen, used, studied – and
sometimes even generate revenue. This panel’s focus is on the diverse
ways that time-based and digital art can be discovered and accessed.
Collecting institutions might offer exhibitions and onsite use.
Independent distributors work with creators they represent to promote
and sell works through catalogs and other means of outreach. Some
creators prefer the do-it-yourself approach and self-distribute; others
stream their works online through public user-generated content sites. A
new distribution model involves public-private partnerships between
distributors and corporations. The current economic environment and how
it has impacted the ability of creators, institutions, and distributors
to provide access to content will be discussed. The audience is expected
to participate in brainstorming on how distribution models can be
adapted for the immediate times and the future.
