Old media, new media? Significant difference and the conservation of software-based art
This chapter considers the question of whether the conservation of software-based artworks differs significantly from traditional time-based media works of art. In contrast, software is a more diverse, non-standardized, and fast-moving technological environment, and the systems which make up software-based artworks are often more diffuse. The difference for software is...Laurenson, Pip

An ontology design pattern for digital video
In this paper we introduce an ODP for representing digital video resources. The aim is to model digital video files, their components and other associated entities, such as codecs and containers. The proposed design pattern facilitates the creation of relevant domain ontologies that will be deployed in the fields of...Mitzias, Panagiotis ; Riga, Marina ; Waddington, Simon ; Kontopoulos, Efstratios ; Meditskos, Georgios …

Dependency modelling for inconsistency management in digital preservation: the PERICLES approach
The rise of the Semantic Web has provided cultural heritage researchers and practitioners with several tools for providing semantically rich representations and interoperability of cultural heritage collections. Although indeed offering a lot of advantages, these tools, which come mostly in the form of ontologies and related vocabularies, do not provide...Lagos, Nikolaos ; Riga, Marina ; Mitzias, Panagiotis ; Vion-Dury, Jean-Yves ; Kontopoulos, Efstratios …

Mind the gap: rigour and relevance in collaborative heritage science research
This paper examines if there is a ‘rigour-relevance gap’ in collaborative heritage science research and what enables and impedes effective collaboration between academic researchers and users of research evidence in practice. A quantitative attitudes questionnaire was distributed amongst the heritage science community: 210 responses were received. Respondents answered in relation...Dillon, Catherine ; Bell, Nancy ; Fouseki, Kalliopi ; Laurenson, Pip ; Thompson, Andrew …

Authenticity, Change and Loss in the Conservation of Time-Based Media Installations
This paper focuses on three concepts central to the theory of conservation: authenticity, change and loss. These terms are explored in relation to how they are viewed in traditional conservation practice and how they might usefully be interpreted in relation to time-based media works of art. Discussions about authenticity found...Laurenson, Pip

The Management of Display Equipment in Time-based Media Installations
Time-based media installations are works of art that incorporate audio, film, video, 35 mm slides or computer-based elements. This paper aims to develop a practical policy for the care and management of display equipment that forms part of these works. It explores how to identify time-based media installations most at...Laurenson, Pip

Developing Strategies for the Conservation of Installations Incorporating Time-Based Media: Gary Hill’s Between Cinema and a Hard Place
Strategies for the conservation of a complex installation by Gary Hill (born 1951) are discussed with special reference to the cathode-ray tube monitors and the system that controls the distribution of sound and images. The conservator’s role and responsibilities in the care of time-based media artworks are explored, and particular...Laurenson, Pip
