Vanishing Point: The Curation and Preservation of Virtual Reality is a one-day conference at Central Saint Martins that brings together industry experts from the BBC, Tate, V&A and BFI to discuss the challenges of preserving new media.
As Virtual and Augmented Reality become part of the artists’ toolkit, museums and galleries are tackling the issue of how to collect, preserve and curate Virtual Reality artworks, ensuring they have a life beyond the present.
Hosted by Central Saint Martins and with contributions from Digital Catapult, speakers offering solutions to these varied challenges include keynotes from Tom Burton (BBC) and Solomon Rogers (Chair of BAFTA Immersive Entertainment) with panel discussions featuring Jesse de Vos of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision and George Stanley of the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
