Hi all, Just quickly, and coming at this from a slightly different angle...
It really concerns me that there is very little collection and preservation of media arts heritage going on (almost nothing, in fact, in Australasia). I am centrally engaged in trying to build a discourse locally on born digital cultural heritage, because I think this is part of the problem. Some of you might recall the Play It Again team ran a conference in Melbourne on this last year to which a few NZers came (most talks are online at playitagainproject.org/blog/conference-report). And I currently head up the Aus-NZ coproduction to preserve and remember locally made 80s games. So wearing these hats, I'd say that it's easy to critique. The realities are that it is hard to get money to do this sort of thing, which takes multiple skill sets so involves managing lots of people/sub-projects/dealings with institutions, let alone the money to do it really well (having mobile responsive websites, etc etc). Always ready to hear new ideas if others can see better ways...
