Strategies for the conservation of video Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2006 15:10:34 +0100 ---------------------------------------------- Copy - Digitise - Restore? Strategies for the conservation of video Düsseldorf, NRW-Forum 7-8 December 2006 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 Düsseldorf, 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.
