"Between Participation and Documentation: Issues of Preservation in Networked Art" Andria Hickey

This paper explores the ways in which the behavioral nature of online do-it-yourself, art-by-instruction website effects the potential frameworks for future preservation. Using case studies of Hans Ulrich Obrist’s online curatorial project, “DO IT at E-Flux”, and Miranda July’s relational art project, “Learning to Love you More”, this paper compares how differences in participation and audience ultimately effect the trace of an ephemeral work and later preservation strategies.
