... EAI’s new project, the Online Resource Guide for Exhibiting & Collecting Media Art, aims to identify key issues and best practices relating to media art exhibition, collection and preservation, in the areas of single-channel video, installation and interactive media. By providing user-friendly access to research from media arts specialists, we also hope to de-mystify the process of exhibiting and collecting technology-based art for non-specialists. The guide will feature case studies; interviews with artists and experts in the field; technical/equipment guidelines; reprints of articles, papers, and other published materials; a glossary, and a bibliography of related Web resources and projects. Contributors include curators, artists, educators, archivists, conservators, registrars, collectors, technicians, and institutional collaborators. This presentation will introduce the project and highlight examples relating to artists’ interactive media works.
