Hi
all,
I'd like to know what
classifications your museum uses for contemporary time-based media
and multimedia works. We currently have two
classifications: "Video" and "Installation" and are finding that they do
not cover all types of new media, and also that these two classifications often
overlap. In cases where the work is mainly sculptural and the media component is
one of many components, we use "Sculpture" as the classification. It would
be helpful to know what other museums use in the Classification
field, and if you use other fields (e.g. Object Name, Object Type) to further
describe these types of works.
Thank
you,
Chrisy
