Session: Objects and .obj Files: Caring for Josh Kline’s Cost of Living (Aleyda)
Speakers: Margo Delidow, Savannah Campbell
Description:
Assistant Conservator Margo Delidow and Video and Digital Media Preservation Specialist Savannah Campbell present a case study of Josh Kline’s 3D-printed sculpture “Cost of Living (Aleyda)”, in the collection of the Whitney Museum of Art. Recognizing that the 3D print may become damaged or degrade over time, Kline has instructed the museum to reprint new components of the sculpture if needed in the future. Delidow and Campbell describe the theoretical, ethical, and practical implications of this work and the Whitney’s commitment to preserving Cost of Living (Aleyda) according to the artist’s specifications.
