    Help shape the future of the show! Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/Pr8kThnNUGU6hasF6If you listen to this show chances are you are familiar with some iconic images of time-based media art that has taken place in Times Square — in fact I think perhaps the first image I ever saw of Jenny Holzer’s work was a grainy black and white photo of one of her truisms on display on an LED sign in Times Square. Public art has been occurring in Time’s Square for many decades, but in f...

    Encore presentation: Ian Cheng

    Today we are revisiting an episode that aired originally two years ago to the day featuring artist Ian Cheng. This episode was one of our most popular in 2021, so we are pulling it out of the archives for our more recent subscribers to enjoy. Since 2012, Ian has been building a universe of sentient software, creatures, and elaborate systems of logic in the form of self-playing video games, installations, drawings, and prints. In this extended chat Ian shares some of his deepest influences, pa...

    Ursula Davila-Villa

    In our latest episode we visit with artist legacy specialist Ursula Davila-Villa. In her crucial work, Ursula helps artists and their families put appropriate plans in place to ensure that their work and archives will exist in a way consistent with the artist’s wishes after they are gone. This unique work draws upon conservation, archives, estate planning, curation, and more. Despite how critical this work is, it isn’t really something you can go to school for. Tune in to hear the fascinating...

There, she led the conservation department during its formative years, establishing SFMOMA as a pioneer in the field of time-based media conservation. Throughout Jill’s extensive career, from her early years at SFMOMA to her current work in Wisconsin, ...

    Crystal Sanchez

    Today we are diving deeper into the world of digital preservation in our visit with Crystal Sanchez, digital archivist for the Smithsonian Institution. So far, over the past two years and sixty six episodes we’ve visited with all kinds of folks involved in different aspects of preservation of works of art — but something we haven’t really looked at closely is the infrastructure that makes all of this possible. Without proper digital preservation storage, systems, procedures, protocols, and th...

    Joanna Phillips

    For episode 66 we are back in the conservation lab, visiting with the one and only Joanna Phillips. For any listeners familiar with time-based media conservation, Joanna hardly needs any introduction — she was among the first generation of practitioners in this field, and the second ever time-based media conservator at a US museum. At the Guggenheim Joanna established the first museum time-based media conservation lab. Her work has been incredibly influential in the field — she develope...
