***Call for papers for Electronic Media Group specialty session, Chicago 2017***
The Electronic Media Group (EMG) of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works (AIC) seeks abstracts for the 45th Annual Meeting, held in Chicago, IL, USA, May 28 through June 1, 2017.
Abstracts for the EMG sessions are encouraged to be related to the overall 2017 theme, “Treatment 2017: Innovation in Conservation and Collections Care,” but may address any other aspect of the conservation of time-based media and digital art, electronic component materials, and related areas.
The 2017 Annual Meeting theme may be expanded to address:
• Digitization and file format questions
• Storage and migration strategies for digital files and artwork
• Technologies used to render artworks for public display
• Emulation of software-based artworks
• Educational initiatives related to working in the digital space
• Reconsideration of historic procedures no longer in practice
• Innovations in treatment design, documentation, and execution
• Sustaining analog electronic art in digital age
• Ethical consideration and decisions made when approaching treatments
• Conservation projects that did not go as planned
• Collaborations, oral histories, dialogues, i.e.,: working with other specialties, archivists, artists, curators, collectors.
Abstracts for formal presentations in the EMG session may be submitted by anyone with an interest or role in conservation, including current group members, other Specialty Group members, and related professionals.
The online abstract submission portal is open. Abstracts are due on September 12, 2016. Please continue to check the Call for Submissions page for updates and specialty calls for papers.
General session call for proposals:
Whether item or collection-level, preventive or interventive, treatment remains at the heart of what conservators do in order to preserve cultural heritage collections. The design and implementation of an ethical and sound conservation treatment, even the ultimate decision of no treatment at all, begin before its commencement and the consequences continue well beyond its completion.
Papers are solicited that explore various facets of conservation treatments and collection care programs intended to prolong the lifetime of cultural property. Topics may include, but are not limited to, a reconsideration of historic procedures no longer in practice, cutting edge technologies employed in treatments, effective preventive conservation or collection care steps that reduce the necessity or extent of interventive treatments, the incorporation of sustainability into conservation treatments, or innovations in treatment design, execution, and documentation.
