La conservación del material audiovisual: Posturas y visiones del conservador-restaurador y el artista en manifestaciones artísticas cambiantes

Abstract

Contemporary artistic manifestations are a part of new media. Specifically, this contribution focuses on the inclusion of experimental audiovisual in new media works. These manifestations are complex due to the number of elements that make them up. Also due to the obsolescence of their equipment. The possibilities of preservation are based on the inclusion of changes and/or modifications which, without transforming their identity, allow them to avoid obsolescence. This contribution goes deeply into the conservation and restoration criteria linked to the dialogue with the artists. This is illustrated through three concrete examples with different conservation casuistics. These demonstrate the changing nature of these manifestations and the variation in traditional conservation theory by future conservation-restoration specialists.
