As the culminating event for the National Digital Stewardship Residency for Art Information (NDSR Art), the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) will host The Art of Digital Stewardship: Content, Context, and Structure.
This one-day symposium will bring together digital archivists, digital curators, librarians, content creators, and artists to discuss digital art stewardship and focus on questions such as:
- How are we conceptualizing the artistic process as information or as a record?
- How can we support artists' engagement with the archival record?
- And, conversely, how can we support artists' archival impulses?
Featured speakers include:
- Caroline Gil Rodríguez, media art conservator, archivist, and writer
- Ayodamola Tanimowo Okunseinde (ayo), artist, designer, and educator
- Jasmyn R. Castro, audiovisual archivist and creator of the African American Home Movie Index
- Bárbara Calderón, art consultant, artist, culture worker, and arts librarian
- NDSR Art residents from MICA's Decker Library, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and Small Data Industries
