Time-Based Media Symposium
Reflections and Projections: Time-based Media Art Conservation Education and Outreach
learn more about the Time-based Media symposium Watch Reflections and Projections online [opens in new window]Time-based Media (TBM) artworks are characterized by having a durational element, such as sound, performance, light, or movement, which unfolds to the viewer over time via slide, film, video, software, or the internet. Preserving them presents particular challenges, given their conceptual nature and use of components that extend well beyond traditional categories of art materials.
For further information, please visit www.tbmatnyu2022.com
In order to meet the ever-increasing complexities of TBM art conservation, the next generation of media conservators must cross over the disciplinary boundaries of computer science, material science, media technology, engineering, art history, and conservation.
Thanks to generous funding from the Mellon Foundation, the Conservation Center of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University has designed and implemented the Time-based Media (TBM) Art Conservation Education and Training Program, the first of its kind in the US.
This webinar will present teaching concepts developed by instructors, as well as student perspectives over four years of curriculum implementation. Educators and professionals from other programs are invited to discuss their teaching approaches in the classroom and beyond. Resources developed at the Conservation Center will be shared to promote TBM art conservation education and training and to inspire others embarking on similar initiatives.
Organizers and moderators: Dr. Hannelore Roemich, Hagop Kevorkian Professor of Conservation, and Christine Frohnert, Research Scholar and TBM Program Coordinator, at the Conservation Center, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Contact for further information: hr34@nyu.edu.

Series: Time-Based Media Lecture
Title: New Media Art Conservation: A theoretical approach to permanence through change
learn more about the Time-based Media lecture RSVP required for the Time-based Media lectureDescription: New media are fragile. Their Achilles heel is technological obsolescence and the technical fragility production process itself. This theoretical approach to permanence through change offers an alternative to other conservation-restoration theories based on two fundamental paradigms: antifragility and evolvability. While traditional conservation theories consider new media art as art ("more of the same"), this approach starts from a logical typification free of paradoxes. This presentation explores the philosophical underpinnings of this theory, a methodology of production-recreation of new media artworks that ensures the preservation of the work's identity over time.
Lino García Morales is a musician, writer, teacher and conservator of new media. He completed an engineering degree in automatic control at the ISPJAE, a master's degree in Systems, Signals and Communications at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), a Ph.D. in Telecommunications at the UPM and a Ph.D. in Conservation and Restoration of New Media at the Universidad Europea de Madrid (UEM). He has designed and coordinated Masters in Conservation-Restoration of Contemporary Art for the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS), Cultural Heritage Management (UCM-UPM), Forensic Acoustics (UPM), Degree in Digital Art (UEM), Degree in Digital Design (Universidad Internacional de La Rioja). He has produced new media works for artists such as Hans Haacke and coordinated the development of a program for the conservation study of Guernica at MNCARS.
The lecture will be presented in Spanish with English subtitles. The event will be moderated in both Spanish and English by Caroline Gil, Director of Media Collection and Preservation at Electronic Arts Intermix, New York.
