Résumé:
In Re-collection, Richard Rinehart and JonIppolito argue that the vulnerability of new media art illustrates a larger crisis for social memory. They describe a variable media approach to rescuing new media,distributed across producers and consumers who can choose appropriate strategies for each endangered work. New media art poses novel preservation and conservation dilemmas. Given the ephemerality of their mediums, software art, installation art, and interactive games may be heading to obsolescence and oblivion.

In this volume, Bruce Sterling describes four possible futures that might shape future towers, presenting a choose-your-own-adventure of(...)

Engines of industry, expressions of ego or will, tall towers are nonetheless, when they pierce the shared skies, intensely public.

But it was no doubt political caution which prompted him to(...)
