Jess,
I am also quite curious about this issue, as I am in the beginning stages of writing my MA dissertation on the collecting, conserving and commissioning of digital art, particularly the maintenance of hardware or the choice to collect just the software. I would be very interested in hearing about how different institutions have approached this issue. I'm also interested in hearing from anyone whose museum has collected digital art and which department has been responsible for collecting it.

By the way, this is my first post to the list, to which I've subscribed for several years now as a bit of a lurker :) Thank you in advance for any insight!

Have any museums made public their guidelines for collecting digitally-created art?  In addition to a practical guide, I would also be interested in a philosophical discussion of the topic.  Any suggestions?

 

Many thanks for your input!
