"Curating and Conserving New Media" : [agenda]

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."

"Digital Media Management" : [agenda]

File consists of two copies of the agenda for the summit, which took place November 4-6, 2001. The program description reads: "Digital Media Management explored best practices in media asset production and management in the digital era. It was a practical look at a topic with deep philosophical underpinnings. How have convergence and digitization changed the production process in fundamental ways? How can we manage projects that include software, media production and new media outputs? This event looked at the relationships between the media we are currently producing, and the data storage strategies necessary to access and repurpose it. How can we best build data repositories? What do we save from what we produce and in what format? How do we know a work is finished, how do we deal with versions? How can we verify sources; is authenticity relevant? How do we include media into archives? What are the software strategies for media production management? For archiving? How can we create the tools to find what we need in digital archives and databases? What computer science and engineering challenges need to be solved in order to provide elegant production, storage and related distribution challenges? Can we improve on existing management systems? How and if so, can we communicate these enhanced processes to others?

This event was a practical follow-up on the August, 2001 event, Unforgiving Memory. We shared the findings of the August event with participants in this workshop. We gathered convergent media producers, data base and archives developers, broadcasters, educators, policy makers and production managers at this small, high level summit."
