- This book chapter was invited by editor Christiane Paul, who is Associate Professor in the School of Media Studies at the New School, New York, USA, and also Adjunct Curator of New Media Arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
The research for this chapter is based on over 20-years’ research in the field of curating new media art, and particular concentrates on the importance of integrating new media art into art historical structures, including processes of collecting, documenting and archiving new media art. It also develops the importance of documenting the processes of exhibitions as well as the art itself, as analysed in my 2013 Journal of Curatorial Studies article “Exhibition Histories and New Media Behaviours.”
Being in a ‘Companions to Art History’ is an important indicator of integration. Other contributors of chapters to the book include leading international experts, which importantly includes both theorists and curators: Lev Manovich, Oliver Grau, Erkki Huhtamo, Machiko Kusahara, Philip Galanter, Sean Cubitt, M. Beatrice Fazi and Matthew Fuller, Olga Goriunova, Nathaniel Stern, Anne Balsamo, Armin Medosch, McKenzie Wark, Mary Flanagan, Edward A. Shanken, Richard Rinehart, Ben Fino–Radin, Jon Ippolito, and Annet Dekker.
This chapter is the last one in the book, and hence looks particularly towards the future. The book review by Neural magazine said “It is a star collection, with some of the most famous protagonists (artists, academics, and curators) of art made with technologies.” It has been cited by publications in the USA, Canada, Poland and France as well as in the UK, including PhD dissertations, the books Collecting and Conserving Net Art and Embodying Data, and peer-reviewed journals such as Journal of Chinese Cinemas, Canadian Journal of Film Studies, Kultura i Historia, Marges, and Digital Creativity.
