PIXELS, LINES, AND BITS: AN A/V PRESERVATION PRIMER FOR ARTISTS ON APRIL 16
Presentation by Preservation Consultant Kathryn Gronsbell
When hard drives have a life expectancy of only a few years, how can you position the work you make today to survive into tomorrow? Kathryn Gronsbell will open up discussion around personal archiving and preservation approaches for artists interested in stabilizing their work so that it can be available in the short, and, long-term. The conversation will be an introduction to concepts like preserving and managing your media, how you can leverage your time and money to make more sustainable decisions, and what the benefits might be now and in the future.
Preservation is not about immediately deciding what you’ll do or when you’ll do it, but gives you the opportunity to make those decisions in the future by stabilizing your files, tapes, or films so they are strong enough to persist. Kathryn brings an insiders’ perspective to the conversation, informed by experiences working with non-profit, academic, and community organizations and institutions.
Thank you to IndependentMedia Arts Preservation for helping organize thisevent.
