> I am currently studying for an MSc in Information Management and Preservation. For my dissertation I am exploring the preservation of digital art. I would be really grateful for any opinions people may have on this topic – should it be preserved? What should be the criteria for deciding to preserve certain work and not others? What is being done at the moment to preserve this work? And what they think about these current practices? I am particularly interested in who people think should be responsible for ensuring this work survives and how they think it should be done. Thank you for reading this and I hope to hear from you.
