Showcase

SIDE-BY-SIDE showcases research into preserving and emulating digital cultural artefacts undertaken by the Archiving Australian Media Arts and Play It Again projects. Select videogames and media artworks from the projects can be viewed on original platforms and a browser-based emulation platform called EaaSI (Emulation-as-a-Service Infrastructure). Inspired by the Guggenheim Museum’s curatorial concept of ‘seeing-double’, SIDE-BY-SIDE tests the promises of emulation as a strategy for preserving and providing access to historic Australian games and media art.

Reception and Launch

SIDE-BY-SIDE is an opportunity to celebrate what we have achieved with colleagues, representatives from the cultural organisations and research institutions involved in the research, media artists, game developers and designers.  The reception will launch The Australian Emulation Network: Born Digital Cultural Collections Access LIEF project. Funded by the Australian Research Council, The Australian Emulation Network is a large consortium including Australian universities, GLAM institutions, infrastructure partners AARNet and OpenSLX, and collaborators at Yale University, who have led the North American rollout of EaaSI. The AusEaaSI project will: stabilise high value cultural collections from university archives and the GLAM sector requiring legacy computer environments; provide researchers with emulated access to born digital cultural artefacts; share legacy computer environments across the network; and establish an Australian software preservation community of practice, building skills in preserving and emulating digital cultural artefacts.
