Symposium on media in transition

Media in Transition symposium
Tate Modern
18-20 November 2015

We are pleased to circulate the provisional list of speakers for
Media in Transition, a major international symposium to be held at
Tate Modern on 18-20 November 2015, focused on the implications of
collecting time-based media works of art and related practices.
This two and a half-day conference aims to foster lively,
inter-disciplinary dialogue about the impact of technological change
on an artwork and the growing networks of professionals that are
required to support contemporary media art works and their
conservation.
