Funded by the UK’s Arts & Humanities Research Council, the project represents a collaboration between leading researchers in the fields of performance and digital art documentation with world-leading museums, artists, and curators specialising in photography and digital art. Over three years, the project will analyse how digital art has been documented from the 1970s to the present day in museums and art galleries, looking at existing practices while also developing novel strategies for documenting, exhibiting and preserving digital art. The project, which aims to develop a framework for museums to capture audience engagement with digital artworks, will also look at documentation as a strategy for exhibition, preservation and public engagement.
