A Talk on Preserving Digital Art @ Lopez Memorial Museum

A TALK ON PRESERVING DIGITAL ART

The Lopez Memorial Museum and FirstGen Corporation invites you to a talk on preserving digital arts. What is digital art, what file formats are suitable for archiving, what are the media/modes for archiving and how does one index and retrieve digital art are some of the questions to be discussed by Dr Jose Lloyd Espiritu on March 24, Saturday, 2-4 pm.

Dr Espiritu is an associate professor at the College of Computer Studies at De La Salle University Manila. A former dean of the said college, Dr Espiritu was involved in projects with the Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), the Development Academy of the Philippines and the Department of Education as well as the VLIR-Flemish Interuniversity Council in Belgium.

The talk complements the exhibition Fuzzy Logic: Art and Technology which is ongoing until May 5, 2007. The exhibition is the Lopez Memorial Museums contribution to Zero In 5, a collaborative project among Ateneo Art Gallery, Ayala Museum, Bahay Tsinoy, Lopez Memorial Museum and Museo Pambata. Zero In 5 marks the 5th year that this museum consortium has pooled its efforts to share and expand museum-going audiences and more pointedly focus on bridging formal and museum education modes. Lopez Museum days and hours are Mondays-Saturdays, 8am-5pm, except Sundays and holidays. Call 6312417 for details.
