- Collecting and presenting born-digital art A matter of translation and (historical) knowledge 14/12/2012 - 15/12/2012 A two-day working conference organized by Baltan Laboratories in collaboration with the Van Abbemuseum.“Why is it still easier to get an entire museum collection on the Internet than to get a single work of Internet-based art in a museum space?” This question was posed during a book launch of the Viennese curator’s collective Context in August 2011. It very clearly points to one of the sore spots in the discussion of why there is so little digital art in museums collections. Although it is common to use digital technologies for information exchange both inside the museum and outside, through distributing content through their websites and social media platforms, the presentation and presence of digital art in museum collections is still rare.

The selected projects will be listed on www.arteutil.net, to be launched in February and will be considered for inclusion in the artist association, the exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Van Abbemuseum, and/or the publication.
