1. The future: Monitoring Media Art Preservation
In VIDEO ART\e-monitor No. 26 we annonced thaat THE DANISH VIDEO ART
DATA BAANK would cut down on our activities but as I wrote in VIDEO
ART\e-monitor No. 28 the Netherlands Media Art Instuitute -
Montevideo/TimeBasedArt luckily enough offered to take over tha part
concerning video art preservation.
They will publish their media art preservaion resources as a web site
and a new online newsletter ofers 4 times a year information and news about
ongoing researc, presentations and publications dealing with video and media
preservation.
"As a tribute", they write, "Torben Søborg's VIDEO ART\e-monitor we
will call this service Monitoring Media Art Preservation".
VIDEO ART\e-monitor No. 29 will then be the last you recieve - or
rather the next last: The day after tomorrow you will recieve as a special
number VIDEO ART\e-monitor No. 30 which will be identical with the first
number of the newsletter Monitoring Media Art Preservation.
I hope you all will go on to subscribe to this new newsletter

2. Frozen website
Our website www.mediaart-preservation.dk will still - at least for the
time being - be on the Internet, but we have "frozen" the site, which means
that we have stopped updating as from November 2004. For new developments we
are referring you to the initiatives mentioned above by the Neterlands Media
Art Institute
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Some other newsletters
It might be a good idea also to look at other media.newsletters with
somewhat different contents. In some of the earlier VIDEO ART\e-monitors we
have drawn your attention to:
- Experimenta Email Bulletin (see No. 24)
- LUXNEWSWIRE (see No. 25)
- Argos Newsletter (see No. 26)
- Kitchen Hotplate (see No. 26)
- BAVC ENEWS (see No. 28)
- SttudioXX's Electronic Newsletter (see No. 28)

3. 1979-2005: Video Monitor - Dansk Video Tidsskrift - monitor - VIDEO
ART\e-monitor
The idea with a newsletter started when we had to stop publishing
Dansk Video Tidsskrft / DVT [he Danish Video Magazine] - a joint venture
between video workshop/HASLEV and the Danish Film Institute Video workshop
in Haderslev
Both workshopshad at the same time in 1979 got the idea to publish a
magazine about video and after the first twonumbers we joined the efforts in
DVT.
.
Our first two separate numbers was a very low-budget project called
Video Monitor. So, when we for economical reasons had to stop DVT in 1984,
our workshop (with THE DANISH VIDEO ART WORKSHOP NOW A PART OF THE WORKSHOP)
took up the low-budget idea and started an "information sheet" newsletter
called monitor. We pulished 49 numbers with irregular intervals between
1985/86 amd Marchh 2001.
The time was becoming more and more electronical/digital/internet. the
DATA BANK had already a web site with worldwide information about video
festivals and in February 2000 we decided also to publishen electronic email
newsletter. We called this newsletter VIDEO ART\e-monitor and in March 2001
we decided to stop the "oldfashioned" printet version monitor and only
publish VIDEO ART\e-monitor.
With our next and special number of VIDEO ART\e-monitor we will then
have published 30 numbers between February 2000 and February 2005.
An era is over. It started with Video Monitor and after the DVT it
went on with monitor and then with VIDEO ART\e-monitor but the name
"monitor" stays somehow alive in the new Monitoring Media Art Preservation.
