Subject: Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art
Cornell University Library Announces:
Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art
Under the sponsorship of The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections
of the Cornell University Library, the Rose Goldsen Archive serves as a
research repository of new media art, with a current emphasis on digital
interfaces and experimentation by international, independent artists.
Named after the pioneering critic of the commercialization of mass
media, Professor Rose Goldsen of Cornell University, the Archive houses
art works produced on CD-Rom, DVD-Rom, and the internet, as well as
supporting materials, such as unpublished manuscripts and designs,
catalogues, monographs, and resource guides to new media art.
Emphasizing multimedia artworks that reflect digital extensions of
twentieth-century developments in cinema, video, installation,
photography, and sound, its holdings include the vast selection of
international works exhibited in the exhibition, Contact Zones: The Art
of CD-Rom, as well as net.art archived on the CTHEORY Multimedia site
maintained by the Cornell Library
<http://ctheorymultimedia.cornell.edu>. The aim of the Goldsen Archive
is to provide researchers, faculty, and students with a better
understanding of the transformation wrought on the artistic process by
digital multimedia experimentation and development. To this end, access
to the archive will be available via computer workstations in the Kroch
Library and eventually via campus internet servers that will permit the
artworks to be accessed from Cornell libraries, classrooms, and
dormitory spaces. A novel research archive of international
significance, the collection complements holdings in The Division of
Rare and Manuscript Collections of illuminated manuscripts and the early
modern printed book, and adds to the breadth of its important
collections in human sexuality and Asian Studies.
The Archive is curated by Timothy Murray, Professor of Comparative
Literature and English, Director of Graduate Studies in Film and Video,
at Cornell University. Author of books on new media, film, and
performance, Murray has curated new media exhibitions internationally
and is Co-Curator of CTHEORY Multimedia. The curator reviews new
materials for inclusion in the archive, and recommends the addition of
reference materials that would contribute to the intellectual context of
the archive. The Archive actively solicits materials for consideration
and/or contribution. Please contact:
