This is a short piece about the existing problems facing the practice of archiving vs. new media and interactive art using Chris Markers "Immemory" as a prime example.
Don't strike the funeral chord too early. This year (2008) an Ukrainian company managed to issue a device that plays IMMEMORY on OSX (Tiger and Leopard). The US version should be available this fall at exactchange.
interesting ideas, i love chris marker and always wondered about Immemory. It reminds me a bit about the old argument about live theatre versus recorded art, how something ceases to be relevant after its own time.
The wise guy answer is that a new edition of this has just come out. It can be used on both Mac Tiger and Leopard.
