An Artist’s Digital Preservation Toolkit
Eugenia Kim · Art Documentation Journal of the Art Libraries Society of North America · 2012
In order to capture the process of artistic creation, the author proposes the use of readily available consumer electronics and Internet media services to develop a technological “toolkit” that can help artists document their creative process in a standardized but flexible way. She provides a case study using dance to demonstrate how the tools may be used to produce “datasets” that aid in the overall preservation of an artistic work. In addition, the author offers recommendations for how information professionals can assist artists both before and after a dataset is produced.
