ABSTRACT
Since the World Wide Web became part of everyday life in the 1990s, digital heritage has been published online in a diverse and ever-evolving digital infrastructure. Artists, audiences, institutions and other stakeholders create, maintain and use a broad landscape of platforms to disseminate and interrelate knowledge about art and culture; this encompasses digitised heritage (i.e., ‘digital surrogates’ and other representations of analogue cultural works), digital-born creative works and a wide variety of contextualising materials. To systematically assess the status, role and impact of this infrastructure, Sandra Fauconnier distinguishes and analyses different categories of online platforms for digital heritage in the field of performance and (mainly) digital and new media art.
