ABSTRACT
In 1997 the National Museum of Photography Film and Television (NMPFT) embarked upon a £16 million redevelopment programme entitled ‘Imaging Frontiers’. A primary aspect of the programme was to systematically extend the NMPFT’s remit to digital technologies and to create an agenda whereby the NMPFT might evolve as a leading centre for digital media exhibition, research and practice in the next decade. The public centrepiece underpinning this new orientation was to be a prestigious new permanent gallery exclusively devoted to digital media.
