Lou Reed: Caught Between the Twisted Stars installation shot, detail

Issue 12

Timed to coincide with VoCA’s inaugural Time-based Media (TBM) Stewardship Workshops, this issue of VoCA Journal focuses on the complexities of collecting, presenting, and caring for media art. As a conservator working in the contemporary sphere, and a long-standing VoCA Board member, I have witnessed artists continually incorporate cutting-edge technologies into their creative practices. In response, open and collaborative dialogues among stakeholders from a variety of backgrounds have been necessary to keep the field of preservation in a perpetual state of adaptation.
