Abstract:
This paper presents a framework for developing cross-cultural new media art archives. We identify three key challenges in cross-cultural archiving: preserving cultural context, overcoming linguistic barriers, and technical standardization.
To address these challenges, we propose a comprehensive framework built on culturally-sensitive metadata schemas, interoperable documentation protocols, and a cross-cultural integration system. The implementation strategy encompasses multilingual taxonomy development, dual-layer infrastructure design, and a three-tier community engagement model.
Through this framework, we aim to enable grassroots archives to integrate with global networks while maintaining their distinct cultural perspectives, ultimately contributing to the preservation and accessibility of diverse media art histories. Our approach focuses on practical solutions for bridging cultural and linguistic boundaries in digital archives while ensuring sustainable, community-driven growth.
