The project shows the media art field\u2019s important role in the Norwegian art scene. The library contributes to further development of the Norwegian media art field by providing a solid basis of the field\u2019s history in one complete archive. The project also encourages the growth of publishing, which is necessary for future developments in the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Norwegian Media Art Library is produced and maintained by TEKS \u2013 Trondheim Electronic Arts Centre. The full collection is available for viewing at TEKS.studio in Trondheim, and by agreement, can be lent out to relevant exhibitions and showcases in Norway.<\/span><\/p>\n Preservation of digital art relies heavily on the lifespan of technologies used to create the work. The hardware and software of digital artworks frequently face updates and eventually grow obsolete. These aspects render the preservation of the digital art field a challenging task. Visual and textual documentation, as well as publishing, therefore, plays a significant role in preserving knowledge about the achievements in the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Norwegian Media Art Library contains printed material about some of the wildest artworks and events realized in the media art field in Norway. The collection allows us to search through the history of three decades of visual and textual documentation about wild experiments done in the media art field in Norway. The first edition of the The Norwegian Media Art Library (under the title The Temporary Library of Norwegian Media Art) was produced and launched for the 5th Trondheim International Biennale for Art and Technology \u2013 Meta.Morf and it consisted of 103 printed publications, released between 1992 and 2018. The first edition was curated by Alessandro Ludovico (concept author of the \u201cTemporary Library\u201d), Stahl Stenslie (NO), and Zane Cerpina (NO\/LV).<\/span><\/p>\n THE TEMPORARY LIBRARY CONCEPT<\/strong> Norwegian Media Art Library(Norsk Mediakunst Bibliotek) \u00a0 The Norwegian Media Art Library (Norsk Mediakunst Bibliotek) is a collection of printed publications covering the Norwegian media art field.
