New Media Art & Archive Session I: Collection

The series deals with the complex issue of archiving new media works of art in public institutions. It focuses on the full range of activities necessary for the technical protection of the work, its correct interpretation and presentation.

The series is based on the Olomouc Museum of Art: New Media Museums project prepared in cooperation with the Slovak National Gallery, WRO Art Center, C³ – Kulturális és Kommunikációs Központ and PAF – Film Animation and Contemporary Art Festival. It reflects the current Central European situation, but tries to put it in a more general context.

The aim is to start a lively discussion platform and share knowledge across institutions. Workshops are thus open not only to students and the professional public but also to interested members of the general public.

Coordination: Dušan Barok, Jakub Frank, Barbora Kundračíková in cooperation with Jana Horáková
Technical support: Svatava Doubková and Michael Franěk
