The book "New Collecting: Exhibiting and Audiences after New Media Art" by Beryl Graham explores the challenges and considerations involved in collecting and exhibiting new media art. Key themes and topics in the book include:
- **New media art** New media art's unique characteristics create challenges for curators and collectors. The book addresses these challenges, offering analytical material to help meet them 【1】【2】.
- **Exhibiting and collecting**: The book explores how museums, galleries, and online art organizations are increasingly including new media art in their collections 【3】【4】. It examines the objecthood of new media art in relation to exhibiting and collecting 【5】.
- **Audience response**: The book integrates the consideration of audience response within the context of new media art 【6】【7】.
- **Authenticity and authorship**: The book delves into key art notions of authenticity and authorship within the context of new media art, using examples such as Rafal Rozendaal's strategy of selling websites with unique URL names 【5】.
- **Boundaries and definitions**: New media art questions the boundaries between notions of archive, documentation, exhibition, and audience 【8】. It is difficult to classify according to traditional art museum categories determined by medium, geography, and chronology 【9】.
Based on these themes, here are some categories and related subjects that could help draw connections to other books in a library:
- **Museum studies/curatorial studies**: Connect to books discussing the theory and practice of curating, museum management, and the changing role of museums in the 21st century.
- **Art history/contemporary art**: Link to books on the history of art, particularly contemporary art and the emergence of new forms of artistic expression.
- **Media studies/new media**: Connect to books that explore the broader field of media studies, including the history and theory of new media, digital culture, and the impact of technology on society.
- **Digital art/electronic art**: Link to books specifically focused on the history, theory, and practice of digital and electronic art.
- **Internet art/net art**: Connect to resources about internet-based art practices, online communities, and digital interventions. Many new-media artists desire their work to be freely and easily accessible and appropriately displayed 【10】.
- **Cultural heritage/preservation**: Connect to books on the preservation of digital art and the challenges of archiving and documenting ephemeral and interactive artworks.
- **Audience engagement/visitor studies**: Link to books that explore how audiences interact with art and cultural institutions, and how technology can enhance visitor experiences.
