Symposium of the el_media expert group of the Fachgruppe Moderne Kunst
Kulturgut der Moderne im Verband der Restauratoren (VDR)
Dear members and colleagues,
We would like to invite you to our Symposium Copy-Digitise-Restore?
Strategies for the conservation of video, which will take place on the 7th
and 8th of December in D=FCsseldorf, at the NRW-Forum (imai-inter media art
institute).
The preservation and conservation of video is no longer and not only one of
the main concerns of broadcasting and distributing companies, but it is also
of increased relevance for artists, curators and conservators.
Preserving a video artwork according to the artistic intent is very
challenging. How can reasonable solutions be found? The complexity of
conserving a video installation is posing questions regarding the
registration of all data needed to preserve an artwork in its entirety and
it is dependent on all its components.
Therefore, the program covers subjects like long-term preservation and use
of hardware, the conservation and restoration of videotapes and will also
include discussions about the ethics of digital restoration in moving
images.
The invited speakers are professionals from Germany, Netherlands,
Switzerland and the Unites States who have strived to find new approaches to
the problems in this field, and successfully found them on a practical
level. These different approaches to fundamental ethical questions,
possibilities of the identification of deterioration and restoration of
videotapes, as well as to various archiving, documenting and restoration
practices shall be presented and discussed.
In attachment you will find the program and registration form.
Simultaneous translation as well as refreshments will be provided
We are looking forward to meeting you in Dusseldorf
