      ab: This important and first-of-its-kind collection addresses the emerging challenges in the field of media art preservation and exhibition, providing an outline for the training of professionals in this field. Since the emergence of time-based media such as film, video and digital technology, artists have used them to experiment with their potential. The resulting artworks, with their basis in rapidly developing technologies that cross over into other domains such as broadcasting and social media, have challenged the traditional infrastructures for the collection, preservation and exhibition of art. Addressing these challenges, the authors provide a historical and theoretical survey of the field, and introduce students to the challenges and difficulties of preserving and exhibiting media art through a series of first-hand case studies. Situated at the threshold between archival practices and film and media theory, it also makes a strong contribution to the growing literature on archive theory and archival practices.|“A companion to media art” provides the first full-fledged introduction to the emerging new field of the preservation and presentation of media art from a truly international perspective. Bringing together contributions from authors from all over Europe and the United States and combining the rich insights of scholars, curators and artists the book addresses the history, theory and technical aspects of creating and curating media art. |“A companion to media art” is the first textbook for students in advanced degree programs that lead to careers in the field of preserving and curating media art in media archives and museum collections. For the general reader the book provides an introduction to this fascinating new field. |The combination of incisive scholarly articles and cases studies provides for a comprehensive view of the field that will interest scholars, artists, archivists and curators alike.
