Preservation of software art presents challenges in many fronts, 
including complex interdependencies between objects; time-based and 
interactive properties; and diversity in the technologies and practices 
used for development.

This exciting two-day symposium will provide a forum for participants to 
discuss these challenges, review and debate the latest developments in 
the field, witness real-life case studies, and engage in networking 
activities. The symposium will promote discussion on such topics as:

• Implications and advances in preserving software art
• Issues of ephemerality
• Significant properties for software art
• Software art as performance
• Legal and Ethical issues in collecting, curating and preserving 
software art
• Interpretation and Documentation
