TECHNOLOGY EXPERIMENTS IN ART: Conserving Software-Based Artworks As artists continue to push the boundaries of what is possible through digital technology, institutions that acquire software-based artworks take on a daunting task: long-term care of works rooted in short-term technology, and systematic care of works created in idiosyncratic ways. This day-long symposium will bring together artists, conservators, programmers, curators, and technicians. Their presentations will examine the challenges of conserving software-based artworks from a variety of perspectives—by exploring works created from the 1960s to the present, and looking at the ways technology, experiments, and art co-exist. This event’s title, a possibly sacrilegious nod to the seminal late-60s project EXPERIMENTS IN ART AND TECHNOLOGY, recognizes that today’s technology-based artworks are not only part of a rich creative legacy, but also call for creative thinking by those tasked with their care for future generations.
