Talk
For the past five years, media artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has been developing a system of procedures to help his studio deal with the maintenance of hundreds of computerized artworks that are in collections around the world. In this talk, Rafael will go over the main methods to accomplish this, in the hope that other artists will adopt them and create realistic expectations for potential collectors.
This presentation will outline what media artists may choose to do on the subject of conservation in order to i) simplify their lives, ii) generate income, and iiii) take ownership of how their work will be presented in the future.
