This week on the show we're visiting with legendary curator and researcher of digital art, Annet Dekker. Annet occupies an incredibly unique and important role within the ecosystem of people that steward time-based media art.  In addition to her curatorial work and research, and in many ways serving as a hub and convener within the digital art community,  Annet has also serverd for many years as passionate researcher within the world of preservation.  Annet's work often serves a sort of meta role studying the work of conservators, the culture of institutions and utilizes her close relationships with artists to encourage the conservation field down a more enlightened path – Annet's influence on the field has been far reaching.
