One of the biggest challenges facing media artists today is the concept of preservation. Any work of art needs to be restored, touched up and preserved to last over time. But with rapidly evolving technology, it's become hugely necessary to regularly maintain and put systems in place to keep tech-art alive and functioning as it should. In this episode, we speak with Morgan Kessler, Media Collections Manager at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) who oversees the preservation of the museum’s collection of Time-Based art.

Artworks Discussed in this Episode:

Mungo Thomson, Composition for Marimba, 2016

Nam June Paik, Video Flag Z, 1986
