A Brief History of Curating New Media Art: Conversations with Curators
This book of interviews tracks the work of curators in the field of new media art in order to consider the massive changes and developments over a relatively short period of time. They are also a celebration of the ten years that the online resource for curators of new media art, CRUMB, has been publishing interviews and other research. The curators featured in this book range across the contemporary arts. They have been working away, not in the centre or the periphery, but in the nodes of this networked field of new media art.

January 23, 2011A baker's dozen plus one interview with various curators who, in the past decade-plus, have contributed to the idea of "'new media' art."
After a brief introduction, the interviews get rolling, in chronological order, so we move from the age of Netscape through the iPhone to Twitter and beyond. Throughout, the curators talk about common themes: the market value of these ephemeral objects, complications with archival documentation (a particular concern of the editors/interviewers of the volume), territorial issues in museum administrative culture, and issues of authorship (where does the artist end and the technical support begin?).
The one downside is that very few of the artists and works referenced are described.
