The document outlines a project focused on CD-ROM archiving workflows for the preservation and accessibility of digital artworks. It aims to improve knowledge and standards related to emulation strategies, assessing the current state of digital preservation to enhance access to Lima's CD-ROM collection. Key issues addressed include the specifics of artwork interactivity, the importance of emulation over virtualization, and managing the obsolescence of both the medium and the emulators themselves.
Sustaining artworks on CD-rom - Gaby Wijers, Alexandre Michaan, Nina van Doren
- 1. CD-ROM archiving workflows for sustaining artworks on CD-Rom June 13 2016 Gaby Wijers, Alexandre Michaan, Nina van Doren
- 2. CD-ROM archiving workflows for sustaining artworks on CD-Rom Intro / the project
- 3. Introduction / The aim CD-ROM archiving > More visibility and sustainability of digital artworks on CD-ROM > Increasing the level of knowledge by assessing existing emulation protocols > Cooperation and coordination between museums, libraries, archives and science in the field of digital preservation
- 4. Introduction / The aim CD-ROM archiving > to examine the development of standards in the international research field of emulation strategies > to examine the potential of pre-existing tools such as Emulation as a Service > to improve access to LIMA's CD-ROM collection > to provide a general use-case step-by-step procedure for emulation, storage and access > to join existing facilities.
- 5. Specificities of artworks on CD-ROM carrier CD-ROM archiving > Interactivity and browsing conditions > Aesthetic elements typical from the early 1990’s to early 2000s period
- 6. Global situation of increasing obsolescence 2012-2016 2006-2009 CD-ROM archiving > Artworks impossible to access or experience nowadays
- 7. CD-ROM archiving First view on the CD-ROM collection > Sorting artworks depending on level of interactivity Defining the specific needs for emulation, depending on the works and collection : what has to be emulated ?
- 8. The CD-ROM produced at the LIMA art lab The Second, 1997 (Virtual exhibition) Person to Person, 1998, by Stansfield/Hooykaas First view on the CD-ROM collection CD-ROM archiving
- 9. Capture, archival, and digital storage of CD-ROMs as virtual disc images digital repository CD-ROM archiving
- 10. Capture, archival, and digital storage of CD-ROMs as virtual disc images > Physical medium needs to be protected, stored and handled as few as possible once tested, captured and documented > Existing as virtual images allows to set up a procedure of digital storage and regular migration and backup such as the ones in use for digital artworks such as digital video files CD-ROM archiving
- 11. Testing of original CD-ROMs on matching display equipment CD-ROM archiving
- 12. Testing of original CD-ROMs on matching display equipment Importance of keeping track of initial viewing/browsing conditions before presenting emulated versions Non-optical mouse Block-keys large keyboard CRT screen CD-ROM archiving
- 13. Setting up an emulation procedure > Why emulation and not virtualisation ? > A focus on old mac computers emulation : Sheepshaver Basilisk II CD-ROM archiving
- 14. Online emulation versus self- contained emulators for institutions > The testing of EaaS for LIMA CD-ROM examples CD-ROM archiving
- 15. Online emulation versus self- contained emulators for institutions Creating and presetting a self-contained and ready-for-exhibition emulated version of a CD-ROM artwork : + instruction file CD-ROM archiving
- 16. Keeping the control on emulation IMPROVING RELIABILITY CD-ROM archiving > Controlling the visual results by case-by-case browsing tests and comparison with original equipment
- 17. Sustaining emulators, long term risk anticipation > Emulating obsolete emulators strategy CD-ROM archiving
- 18. Openings CD-ROM archiving > How to preserve emulators themselves from obsolescence ? > How to define the conservation needs and documentation needs of a CD-ROM artwork, or in general of a digital artwork ? How to define levels of interactivity and reliability of behaviour ? > How to deal with presentation in regard with original equipment ? To be discussed further in the workshop June 13 2016 Gaby Wijers, Alexandre Michaan, Nina van Doren
