During the last decades media art has grown to be the art of our time, though it has
hardly arrived in our cultural institutions.
The mainstream of art history has neglected developing adequate research tools
for these contemporary art works, they are exhibited infrequently in museums, and
there are few collectors. Which practices and strategies in curating and documenting
of media art do experts in the field suggest?

The discussion was moderated by Dr. Michael Freund, from Austrian leading
newspaper “Der Standard”.
