Third Summit on New Media Archiving
at ISEA2023 in Paris
- Duration
- 2022–2023
The ISEA Symposium Archives are organizing the Third Summit on New Media Art Archiving in partnership with ISEA2023, the Archive of Digital Art (ADA), the archive for the Histories of Media Art, the Ars Electronica archive, the ZKM archives, the SIGGRAPH History Archive, the ACM SIGGRAPH Digital Arts Community, the Electronic Language International Festival (FILE) archives, and the MEMODUCT posthuman archive. The Summit will be held during ISEA2023, the 28th International Symposium on Electronic Art.
After the massive support for the Liverpool declaration, the initiative started with ISEA round table discussions on new media archiving at ISEA2018 in Durban, South Africa and ISEA2019 in Gwangju, South Korea. The 1-day First Summit on New Media Art Archiving was held during ISEA2020, (online from Montreal, Canada) featuring a keynote lecture, paper presentations, and break-out sessions. This Second Summit on New Media Art Archiving was held during 2 days preceding ISEA2022 in Barcelona, Spain. Subjects included, among others, archiving physical artifacts, digitizing museum collections, and innovative approaches to archiving, as well as an emphasis on connecting new media art archives worldwide.
The 3rd Summit has 3 themes: Symbioses, Sustainability & Progress. These themes are operationalized by inviting paper and panel proposals on the following topics (that will be explained in more detail in the Call for papers):
- Building on the results of Summit 1 & 2
- Making the Summit a sustainable event
- Ideas and proposals to help the Connecting Archives project
