New Media in the White Cube and Beyond: Curatorial Models for Digital Art, edited by Christiane Paul

This provocative, cutting-edge anthology addresses the challenges of curating, presenting, and preserving new media art—artworks that use digital technologies as media and emphasize process over object. As an art form that is inherently time-based, dynamic, interactive, collaborative, customizable, and variable, new media art resists objectification. It boldly challenges the traditional art world’s customary methods of presentation and documentation as well as its approach to collection and preservation. Edited and introduced by Christiane Paul and featuring contributions by prominent practitioners—institutional and independent curators, theorists, and conservators—this volume charts developments in an exciting field and addresses the conceptual, philosophical, and practical issues of both curating and presenting new media art.
