Digital Art – the challenges and preservation strategies, interview with virtual reality artists: Strategy accompanying the acquisition of VR experience Paulina Staszkiewicz, Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw Digital works of art can mostly be characterized as allographic, they might exist in a virtual space in many copies and are more easily accessible to the recipient by collecting them in virtual museums and databases. At first glance, they seem to be easier to preserve for future generations - they lack material bodies that would be exposed to standard factors that damage the autographic body of the work, such as incorrect maintenance, mechanical damage, unfavourable environmental factors etc. However, this impression is misleading, because the danger that affects digital works of art is technological acceleration causing rapid obsolescence of media, incompatibility of hardware, software and peripheral devices. So how should one preserve a digital work of art? Different strategies and case studies are being discussed, including storage, migration, emulation, reinterpretation and documentation. In order to better understand the challenges of digital art preservation, virtual reality artists Przemysław Danowski and Jakub Wróblewski were interviewed. The strategy accompanying the acquisition of VR experience was established in a form of an interview. It documented artists' technique and creative process of making the artworks Bardo and Lovestory; the importance of the VR medium, the relation between artists intention and VR technology, their attitude to future conservation treatments and acquisition of the artworks.
