Scope and content
File consists of an agenda for the workshop/symposium. The event included both a workshop (May 25-28, 1998) and a symposium (May 29-30, 1998). The program descriptions of both are as follows:
"Workshop
Leading up to the symposium, this workshop provided a practical opportunity to develop working new media presentation, collection and conservation strategies. Participants were able to take their ideas forward into the following two-day international symposium that brought together museum and gallery professionals, curators, cultural theorists, artists and media producers. Participants continued the philosophical and practical dialogues that emerged at events such as The Total Museum (ISEA), Art @ TechologiA, and Consciousness Reframed. Both events were concurrent with Cyber Hearts, the Walter Phillips Gallery 1998 new media show.
Symposium
Developed in conjunction with The Banff Centre’s Walter Phillips Gallery, with its history of successful interactive media curatorial practice, this event provided arts professionals with an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas related to the curatorial practice, collection and conservation of new media. The symposium covered such themes as the World Wide Web as a creative space, the critical and marketing environment for new media, database development, intellectual property, installation-based interactive works, and resourcing technologies. It also considered support for creative projects, commissioning, on- and off-site production, the development of audience for new media, and the relevance of new forms of distribution and financing, such as broadband trials."
