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

Peculiar pleasure in the ruined Crystal Palace
In 1951 the filmmaker and poet James Broughton moved to London from San Francisco. At that time he was beginning to garner a reputation for his short, whimsical, films, which often made use of outmoded costumes and decaying public spaces. One important reason he gave for moving was the idea...Boaden, James

In his vicious and lengthy review of Edward Fryer’s Works of James Barry, Esq. Historical Painter (1809), Richard Payne Knight was at some pains to detail the genesis of what he considered to the painter’s ‘radical error’: the profoundly perverse narcissism or ‘morbid vanity’ that seemed to fuel the Irish...Myrone, Martin

Ruskin and the gothic revival: his research on Venetian architecture
Ruskin's study of Venetian architecture, art and culture, The Stones of Venice, published in three volumes between 1851 and 1853, was not intended to be a history as we would now understand it. It was a moral argument, and a political intervention. As Elizabeth Helsinger has argued in an essay...Hewison, Robert
