The process of recreating a digital art work to keep it alive. As technology becomes more sophisticated, the early video cameras, software programs and computers of the 1970s and 1980s are virtually obsolete. Conservators have had to emulate artworks made on oudated technology—such as an old Spectrum computer—in existing technology. This process has caused considerable debate about the nature of conservation in this context and about technological nostalgia in contemporary art.
