“…Hypermedia is so diverse that it is in need of documentation, analysis, and methodology (in an extensive sense). In this respect, hypermedia works are comparable with contemporary art works (Kraemer ). Methods derived from art history, media sciences, filmmaking, and musicology are needed to analyze hyperlinked masterworks according to standard criteria of narration, dramaturgy, navigation, and design.…”

Hypermedia is so diverse that it is in need of documentation, analysis, and methodology. For more than 20 years, online and offline applications of hypermedia technology have combined text, image, video, animation, and sound into a total work of art (Gesamtkunstwerk). This essay provides an insight into my research project, Multimedia Classics and Hypermedia Hermeneutics, focusing on why it is so difficult to describe and analyze hypermedia applications on cultural topics. It suggests how the functions, contents, and forms of hypermedia could be analyzed; to do so, it looks at Notzimmer, an interactive website story about a knockdown furniture construction kit designed by Jewish refugee Mauritius Ehrlich during World War II.

“…More than traditional artworks, installation artworks depend heavily on documentation as conservation strategy because the works, after dismantling, need to be reinstalled or re-executed in order to be presented. Therefore, in the context of installation art, forms of documentation such as installation guidelines consisting of texts, plans, digital images of different presentation forms, artist's interviews and records of working techniques are considered indispensable (see, e.g., Mancusi-Ungaro 1999;Buskirk 2003;Muñoz Viñas 2005;Kraemer 2007;Hummelen & Scholte 2006. The artist may play a large role here.…”

Installation art has become mainstream in artistic practices. However, acquiring and displaying such artworks means that curators and conservators are challenged to deal with obsolete technologies, ephemeral materials, and other issues concerning care and management of these artworks. By analyzing three in-depth case studies, the author sheds new light on the key concepts of traditional conservation - authenticity, artist's intention, and the notion of ownership - while exploring how these concepts apply in contemporary art conservation.
