the sponsorship of The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections of
the Cornell University Library, the Rose Goldsen Archive serves as a
research repository of new media art, with a current emphasis on
digital interfaces and experimentation by international, independent
artists. Named after the pioneering critic of the commercialization of
mass media, Professor Rose Goldsen of Cornell University, the Archive
houses art works produced on CD-Rom, DVD-Rom, and the internet, as well
as supporting materials, such as unpublished manuscripts and designs,
catalogues, monographs, and resource guides to new media art.


Emphasizing multimedia artworks that reflect digital extensions of
twentieth-century developments in cinema, video, installation,
photography, and sound, its holdings include the vast selection of
international works exhibited in the exhibition, <underline>Contact
Zones: The Art of CD-Rom</underline>, as well as net.art archived on
the <underline>CTHEORY Multimedia</underline> site maintained by the
Cornell Library. The aim of the Goldsen Archive is to provide
researchers, faculty, and students with a better understanding of the
transformation wrought on the artistic process by digital multimedia
experimentation and development. To this end, access to the archive
will be available via computer workstations in the Kroch Library and
eventually via campus internet servers that will permit the artworks to
be accessed from Cornell libraries, classrooms, and dormitory spaces.
A novel research archive of international significance, the collection
complements holdings in The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections
of illuminated manuscripts and the early modern printed book, and adds
to the breadth of its important collections in human sexuality and
Asian Studies.



The Archive is curated by Timothy Murray, Professor of Comparative
Literature and English, Director of Graduate Studies in Film and Video,
at Cornell University. Author of books on new media, film, and
performance, Murray has curated new media exhibitions internationally
and is Co-Curator of <underline>CTHEORY Multimedia</underline>. The
curator reviews new materials for inclusion in the archive, and
recommends the addition of reference materials that would contribute to
the intellectual context of the archive. The Archive actively solicits
materials for consideration and/or contribution. Please contact:
