Close to 500 leading experts and the most influential institutions in the field of new media and electronic arts were signatories to “MEDIA ART NEEDS GLOBAL NETWORKED ORGANISATION & SUPPORT” (http://www.mediaarthistory.org/declaration) aka The Liverpool Declaration.
Functioning as a mission statement, the Liverpool Declaration serves as a foundation for further action that was already being discussed at the 25th International Symposium on Electronic Art (ISEA2019), in Gwangju, Republic of Korea. A group of like-minded colleagues discussed approaches towards the problems and potential of the archiving of new media art. The overwhelming attendance to this meeting stressed the growing need for collaboration, structure and funding.
As a next step, at ISEA2020, a full day networking summit will be coordinated by the ISEA online Symposium Archives, the Archive of Digital Art, the Ars Electronica Archive, and SIGGRAPH Digital Art Show Archive. Aims of this summit are to discuss roads towards realizing the Liverpool Declaration goals related to Media Art Archiving collaboration, funding and formats.
Our goal is to support research, documentation and preservation of digital art by:
a.) developing international archive-research infrastructures, similar to those already available in the natural sciences
b.) contributing to development of infrastructures with museums, which are interested in bringing the art of our time into their collections through concerted networks of scholarly and mostly technological expertise. So that relatively small museums can also deal with the very demanding challenge.
As a global phenomenon, which deals with such topics as digitization, digital culture and post-digital societies, digital art is an essential part of our Digital Cultural Heritage. Due to the ephemerality of its technologies, it challenges traditional conservation and archiving practices. New paths for documenting our contemporary art within a long-time preservation strategy are needed. This includes co-creative and large-scale infrastructures between all the involved stakeholders.
