The creation of workflows and tools supporting the preservation of born-digital art, using the collections of four different institutions in the US and Germany as their test case.  The University of Freiburg is requesting 128,000€ from DFG.

This project will develop novel tools, processes and workflows to preserve complex born-digital works of digital art and networked literature, using an emulation-based approach and addressing wider issues in humanities research (in particular, citation and defining object boundaries). It works with four leading German/US archives of art and literature -- Rhizome, DLA Marbach, Vilem Flusser Archive and Yale University Library -- and builds on University of Freiburg’ s Emulation-as-a-Service, developed as a result of the bwFLA project.
