consider diff approaches to preservation, non-digital, but also small-digital
- media archaeology approach - remediation to non-digital media ( skor codex, tapebook , ….) .. vhs, vinyl, paper / print, microfilm, tape
- poetic compression - florian’s floppys, slit-scan photography
- activation : temporal / social / site-based - eg. via exhibitions, KG did it : printing out the internet, retyping a library, top tens show in athens /// or via workshops such as this one
- selection (eg. only top tens), curation, sampling, playlists, screenshot per day, metadata archive / sitemap
- oral tradition, narration, literary interpretation (KG’s ubu book, ubu bibliography @ monoskop)
- video registration of browsing ubu
- forking : making a mirror and continue adding stuff
- approaches from contemporary art conservation - view ubu as an artwork from an individual artist with its performative gestures etc… eg. if this is acquired by a museum (different to when it is acquired by an archive such as archive.org or LOC via web snapshots etc..) … eg. understanding ubu as a complex artwork consisting not only of digital files but also of physical manifestations in the form of exhibitions and as a long-term performance …. artist interview, identifying artist intent, identifying components and their relations and dependencies
- taking into account : longevity / enviro footprint (digi size constraint, non-digi or non-electric formats) / accessibility–distribution / usability / original/social context , …
