“I was making a film called Teknolust. And I wanted to have a kind of expanded cinema experience, a portal for
the character in the film to talk to people when she’s lonely…a physical virtual reality.”
Lynn Hershman Leeson, 2009

Traditional• The work is a physical object
• Attributes can be described, represented systematically and are well understood
• Well-defined and supported systems and methods exist for information
Spectrum of Needs
© 2010 HOT STUDIO, INC.24 | SFMOMA | COLLECTIONS SYSTEM CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Non-Traditional• The work may NOT be a physical object
• Often composed of variable parts that must be described and related
• Works are activated and rely on interdisciplinary information and knowledge to make that happen
• Challenge existing systems and methods

These can be in one or

transition from silos of information to a collaborative

What is Virtualization?
Virtualization is a technology that abstracts software from hardware allowing operating systems to run without hardware specific
drivers or instructions.
![Page 46: Agent Ruby: a case of born digital art preservation, by Jill Sterrett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537fd554a795971788b4640/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Why Virtualization?
Modern server hardware is increasingly powerful and affordable.
However there is a cost. Powerful resources are often
underutilized, consuming power, space and other environmental resources.
Virtualization allows for consolidating and maximizing resources by allowing multiple virtual machines
to run on one piece of hardware.
![Page 47: Agent Ruby: a case of born digital art preservation, by Jill Sterrett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537fd554a795971788b4640/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Virtualization for Web Art? Enhanced security and sustainability
Reduction of hardware
Works exist independently of each other on the same virtual platform
Able to take snapshots over time
Clone or sandbox allows for a working environment for the artist or a research environment for the collections
team
Simplified upgradability
Built-in disaster preparedness
![Page 48: Agent Ruby: a case of born digital art preservation, by Jill Sterrett](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051413/5537fd554a795971788b4640/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
