The Foundation is excited to support the 2016 CURRENTS New Media Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico. CURRENTS brings together the work of established and emerging new media artists from New Mexico, the U.S. and the world, for events showcasing interactive and fine art video installations, multimedia performances, single channel video, animation, digital dome programs, experimental documentary, web based/app art forms, oculus rift environments, robotics and 3D printing. The festival runs from June 10 to June 26, 2016.
This year’s CURRENTS festival includes two workshops sponsored by the Foundation on best practices in the care of new media. The first, “Best Practices for Cultural Institutions” on June 11, will focus on the critical issues, understandings and strategic actions needed for care of temporal/unstable media arts, digital collections and of our increasingly fragile cultural future. The second, “Best Practices for New Media Artists” on June 12, will be a public seminar/discussion on care of unstable media and on what today’s artists need to know to assure intended ongoing life for their creative media works.
