Abstract:
Panelists will discuss their roles in a collaborative inter-institutional project funded by the Knight Foundation to reauthor artist projects that are in danger of becoming uninhabitable due to platform rot. Invited artists work with a team of digital archivists from San Jose State University under the supervision of Vanessa Chang and students in the CADRE Media Lab at San Jose State University to reauthor works using several methods being developed under the guidance of Professor Rhonda Holberton.
The panel will offer perspectives on collections management, artist contracts, and best practices for reauthoring with insights from the reauthoring process of 3 projects: 1) Lynn Hershman Leeson’s Difference Engine #3, 2) Tamiko Thiel & Zara Houshmand’s Beyond Manzanar 3) Christine Tamblyn’s She Loves It, She Loves it Not.
