Join us Tuesday, March 8 at 730 pm for a talk by Eric Deis. Eric will discuss the problems of obsolescence in Media & Digital Artworks, and methods of responsible artistic production.

Eric is currently developing policies for preservation and cataloguing of digital artworks at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and teaches cross digital practices, “From Drawing to Digital”, at Emily Carr Institute.
