WELCOME TO THE MEDIA ART PRESERVATION CONFERENCE 2020 WEBSITE


THE DEAD WEB – THE END
« WILL THE INTERNET END SOON? »

The Ludwig Museum – Museum of Contemporary Art celebrates the Media Art
Preservation project in 2020 with a two-day MAPS 2020 conference on 13–14
February 2020. Continuing the work revolved around the conversation and the
preservation of media art, started in 2015, involving international
conservators, art historians and experts.

Among contemporary art practices some are linked to technological developments
and which have been designated, with varying degrees of indistinction, as “media
art”, “new media art” or “digital art”.

With an exhibition called “The Dead Web – The End” foregrounds Canadian, Swiss
and Hungarian artists whose practices can be situated in media art will start a
conservation about the obsolescence of the internet. The project and the
exhibition is referred to the possibility of a collapse of the World Wide Web.

THE DEAD WEB – THE END

The conference-related exhibition at Ludwig Museum
24 JANUARY – 26 APRIL 2020
«Will the Internet end soon?»


READ MORE


It all began in May 2015, when an article on lemonde.fr spoke of the possibility
of a collapse of the World Wide Web. Although this event is largely
hypothetical, several articles have been written on the subject in response to a
scientific symposium that the Royal Society organized around the Internet
Capacity Crunch.

In a context where the network could collapse even before the end of its
“adultescence” – in 2023, the Web as we know it will barely be more than 25
years old – we can try to picture the fall of the Web and the after-world that
would ensue: Empty server carcasses and a sea of electronic junk? A digital
oblivion on all screens? A digital desert to drift in? Machines imitating the
Web? A handcrafted Internet? Rumours and testimony about what was the Internet?
A desperate search for a disappeared connection?

In the wake of these reflections, the artistic proposals that echo these
considerations have here been gathered. Though the exhibition was initially
composed of Québec artists, Hungarian artists were subsequently added to it for
the occasion ‑ from a call for proposals, as well as from the Ludwig Museum’s
Collection, and of early web-based artworks from the C3 Center for Culture &
Communication Foundation archives; in addition to artworks by Swiss artists
which were part of The Dead Web exhibition at the last edition of the Mapping
Festival. This approach thus provides a particular perspective in which to build
and unpack our idea of the Web, and, at the same time, its absence.

INFO


LUDWIG MUSEUM – MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, BUDAPEST

Ludwig Museum was established in 1989 as a state institution, through the
initiative of Peter and Irene Ludwig. The permanent collection contains valuable
pieces from significant artists such as: Harun Farocki, Antoni Muntadas,
Waliczky Tamás, Bódy Gábor, Sean Snyder, Wood & Harrison and many others.

Contemporary photographs, prints and time based media (approximately 30% of the
museum’s collection) form the most delicate part of the museum’s collection
which focuses on Eastern and Central European art from the 1960s to recent days.
These unique objects need permanent and regular care. In the collection, we work
with a wide range of contemporary artworks of which 75 pieces are media based.

With its exhibitions and exciting programmes and events, the museum makes every
effort to render contemporary art available and accessible to the widest
possible public embracing the youngest generations as well as the elder ones,
and also to deepen and to help understand the exciting visual culture of today.
The museum is a major cultural attraction in Budapest and with its activities it
takes a leading role in shaping the city’s 21st century image.
