Abstract

As part of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s ongoing initiative Conserving Computer-based Art (CCBA) and the collaborative research between the museum and the Department of Computer Science of New York University’s Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Guggenheim media art conservators and NYU computer scientists have collaborated since 2014 to examine, document, and treat software- and computer-based artworks from the Guggenheim collection. Based on this interdisciplinary work and guided by the objective to inform the care for computer-based art within the field of contemporary art conservation, the authors propose new examination, documentation, and treatment practices for software- and computer-based art that accommodate established conservation ethics and practice guidelines.
