Due to logistical issues related to the federal government shutdown, the symposium on conserving software-base art is being re-scheduled from November 15th to January 17th, 2014. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope to see you there in January. An announcement of the final program will be forthcoming.

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.
