Is anyone using TMS yet to track
the location of works that exist as digital files (i.e., computer or video
artworks delivered by an artist as files?) At the moment, we have a few works
that were delivered on various forms of hard drive, and as long as they reside
there, it’s not difficult to track them, in theory. When works are moved onto
other drives, servers, etc., that are not dedicated—that’s what I’m starting to
think about. Any suggestions are welcome.
Best,
