Hello Rhizomers:

We are pleased to announce the availability of Richard Rinehart's new
report, "Preserving the Rhizome ArtBase," a research agenda which outlines
Rhizome's long-term strategies for preserving the net art, software, games,
and web-based documentation of new media installation and performance works
in our archive.

An excellent introduction into the emerging field of new media art
preservation, Rinehart's report describes some of the initiatives already
underway at Rhizome, in addition to detailing the practices we hope to
implement in the future.

You can find this document online at:

Please feel free to distribute this announcement to interested individuals
and organizations in the field. If you would like further information about
new media art preservation at Rhizome, contact us at artbase@rhizome.org.

Warm regards,
Alena
