New Frameworks
to Preserve and Publish Born-Computational Art
This project is developing new frameworks for long-term preservation and presentation of born-computational art. Preserving born-computational work can be challenging because platforms, hardware, and software are often updated or replaced, changing and even degrading how the original art is displayed. Through containerization, a portable, low-cost method of preserving and presenting the code, operating system, and text, as well as experiments with emulation and other options, our team is working to preserve the original work even if its infrastructure has been altered or discontinued. This project is in process - please check back on the model sketches we produce! We hope to complete the project in the middle of 2024.
