Digital Protocols

Digital Protocols examines the maintenance of culture using digital materials and methods. Emerging practices are presented using a mix of lectures, seminars, workshops and group work. Students engage with the social and technical issues underpinning digital heritage, and the evolving artistic and institutional practices reshaping conservation through the digital preservation of media libraries, and the time-based media conservation of contemporary artworks. A critical engagement with persistent preservation practices is prioritised to develop practical conservation plans for distinct physical, economic cultural settings.
