#ARCSchat March 2022 Future-Proofing Intent in Time-Based Media

A painting in 100 years is still paint on its support and hangs on a wall, but time-based media will always change due to evolutions in technology and changes in performers and/or venues. As collections stewards, #ARCSchat will discuss how they actively protect the legacy of the artist and their work as it ages along with the technologies and personnel that present these pieces.
