Translations:Preserveren van digitale kunst: uitdagingen en oplossingen uit de praktijk/2/en

Preserving digital works of art involves specific challenges. Careful storage of the essential hardware and software is highly recommended, but sometimes you can still reach a point – despite careful management – where one of the two inevitably gives up the ghost. This means you run the risk of losing a crucial element for displaying the artwork again. The limited shelf-life of the components of digital artworks therefore poses a threat to their long-term preservation. In this practical example, we show you how to deal with this problem by addressing it from the moment the artwork is created.
