Art & Beauty
DevOps but for artworks in museums
A look into pipelines ending in museums and not in the cloud
In the original Hacker Ethics, Steven Levy stated that "you can create art and beauty on a computer". That was 40 years ago, creating art and beauty is one thing, but how do you maintain or develop it as a gallery, archive or museum? You know all about CI/CD and deploying to "the cloud"? Well, let me show you how to deploy to a museum or art space. Important note: this talk is not about NFTs.
The preservation and presentation of software/computer-based art in museums presents unique challenges in the contemporary landscape. One prominent issue is the ephemeral nature of digital media, which includes websites, games, software and virtual reality art. Unlike traditional art forms, these works often rely on rapidly evolving technologies, making them vulnerable to obsolescence. Museums are faced with the task of preserving and restoring media art in a way that not only preserves the original intent of the artist, but also ensures accessibility for future audiences.
Another significant challenge is the dynamic and interactive nature of many media artworks. Unlike static paintings or sculptures, digital artworks often require specific hardware, software or immersive environments to be experienced. Museums need to invest in both the technological infrastructure and the expertise to recreate these conditions and provide visitors with an authentic encounter with the artwork.
In this talk we want to look at some solutions from the perspective of software developers who are motivated not only to preserve and present digital media art, but also to develop it with contemporary software development strategies.

What does it take to create a "wild animal"? While one might think "wildness" implies the absence of humans, in the age of the anthropocene and rapid climate change, the opposite is the case. It requires the development of an extensive, more-than-human-infrastructure. Our talk is based on artistic research into the ongoing rewilding project of the Northern bald ibis (Waldrapp), a large migratory bird, that has become extinct north of the alps in 1621 and are being released into the wild since ...

Exploring the transfer of Seidel's experimental films into physical spaces reveals challenges that are intensifying with advances in machine learning, dissolving the lines between original and imitation. In this more or less silent restructuring of society, artists become templates for a digitally assembled future, challenging traditional hierarchies as history collapses into the present.
