As part of the ElectroSmog Festival ADA began the Korawiki project: a catalogue of projects from Aotearoa New Zealand using communications technologies to present, perform, and collaborate over time and distance. The korawiki now forms the basis of the artbase on this website.
LISSA MITCHELL, 2008.
From The Aotearoa Digital Arts Reader, ed. Brennan and Ballard, 2008.
Mitchell discusses why we need to think beyond assumptions underlying the practice of cultural preservation in order to document and care for digital art. To “outwit oblivion and obsolescence”, according to Mitchell, gallery professionals and artists must re-examine how they participate in the care, storage, interpretation and display of artworks.
