Translations:Preserveren van digitale kunst: uitdagingen en oplossingen uit de praktijk/19/en

We started by writing a formal and technical description of the artwork, pointing out its significance and historical context. One crucial step here is defining the artwork’s essential characteristics – in this case mainly in terms of its technical and aesthetic aspects. NIMk’s archive collection, Spinhoven’s personal archive and online sources are all crucial for this. In order to make good preservation and re-installation decisions, you need to check that the original playback equipment is still available (and operational), that operating systems are still functional, and that all the required software components still work properly.
