Leonardo Announcement
DOCAM launches new website
As a member of the DOCAM (Documentation and Conservation of Media Arts Heritage) research alliance, Leonardo is pleased to bring your attention to the opening of the new web site.
Initiated by the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology, DOCAM's primary objective is to develop new methodologies and tools to address the problems of preserving and documenting technological and electronic works of art.
The DOCAM Web site allows visitors to explore the research alliance's key areas of focus:
- The conservation of works of art featuring technological components
- Documentation strategies and structures adapted to these works of art
- A typology and historical listing of the technologies deployed by the artists
- Catalogue structures and methods for works featuring technological components
- Terminological tools and structures for the electronic arts
The DOCAM Web site also offers a list of related research committees and their members, information on DOCAM events, and electronic and media art conservation and documentation resource directories. Research reports and articles on case studies conducted by DOCAM will also be added regularly to the site. And finally, a thematic scan of the key research areas targeted by DOCAM is accessible from the site.
