[ISEA2006] Paper: Timothy Murray — Chinese Archival Futures: Thinking Digitality Via Cornell’s Wen and Goldsen Archives of New Media Art

Abstract

Cornell University’s Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art and its specialized collection, The Wen Pulin Archive of Chinese Avant Garde Art, include an extensive array of new media art from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As the Founding Curator, have been struck by how these collections and the socio-cultural conditions of their production have expanded my sense of the mission of the Goldsen Archive as well as the cultural conditions and promises of digitality itself.
