Hi all,

Some folks on this list may be interested in following this month's conversation on the Yasmin email list, which focuses on diverse approaches to preserving software art and other new media artifacts. Recent contributors range from computer pioneers like Frieder Nake, A. Michael Noll, and Liliane Lijn on preserving their work from the 1960s to Rhizome's Dragan Espenschied on the more contemporary "proliferative preservation" practices of trolls, warez, and bronies.

This Yasmin discussion is prompted by MIT Press's publication last week of Re-collection: Art, New Media, and Social Memory by Richard Rinehart and myself, which has been called the first academic book on new media preservation. Re-collection examines the challenge posed by new media to our long-term social memory, examining in depth such topics as amateur and professional emulation, crowdsourced preservation, and DNA storage.
