- 10. Hooykaas/Stansfield collection: list of videotapes preserved within the framework of DCA project
This short case study describes how the Foundation LIMA carried out the digitisation of video artworks in the Hooykaas/Stansfield collection. After describing the artists and the significance and scope of their artistic output, it goes on to detail how the collection was inventoried and decisions were made on what to digitise. The technology used during the transfer, the workflow process and the resulting storage approach is then described. This digitisation effort took place during the DCA project and followed the best practice guidelines that project developed.
This case study presents a fine example of best practice in action. It clearly describes the problems confronted and the reasons the approach taken resulted in a successful outcome.
