“By their nature, media-based works rely on technology for creation and exhibition. Today we are all too aware of its rapid changes that make these works inherently fragile or at least unstable, and their long-term preservation problematic. The core role of media conservation is to help manage these changes over time while respecting the artist’s intent.”

“[…] interviews with the artists themselves play a central role in our efforts to maintain the integrity of their art. Media works are complex and multifaceted and it is the sum of these different strands, together with the voice of the artist, which enable us to maintain their authenticity now and into the future.”
