(from the AktiveArchive flyer) AktiveArchive proposes virtualisation as a technique for the preservation of computer and internet-based media art works. So far, Aktive Archive has conducted five case studies proving the sustainability of the practice (Marc Lee "Breaking the News. Be a News Jockes" 2007 and "Loogie.net tv" 2005, Andrew Bulhak "Dada Engine" 1995, Cornelia Sollfranks "Netart Generator no.4", and Steina & Woody Vasulka, Gene Youngblood, Peter Weibel, Jurgen Enge "Eigenwelt der Apparatewelt. The Online Version" 2004). ActiveArchives is concerned with electronic, time-and-space -related artworks and: - conducting research on those which have been forgotten, - restoring those which are acutely endangered, - conserving those which are no longer topical but still functional, - registering and documenting those which have just been created. Core activities include: - research project on preservation methods of computer and internet-based art forms - publication project: "Compendium of Image Perturbations in Analogue Video" - exhibition project: "Swiss Video art from the 1970s & 80s - The retrospective" - Collaboration & workshops with Swiss video Art Collections - Historical equipement deposit. |
