Archiving Digital Artwork For Museum Purchase?
An anonymous reader writes "I am an artist working with 3d software to create animations and digital prints. For now my work just gets put on screening DVDs and BluRays and the original .mov and 3d files get backed up. But museums and big art collectors do want to purchase these animations. However as we all know archival DVDs are not really archival. So I want to ask the Slashdot readers, what can I give to the museum when they acquire my digital work for their collection so that it can last and be seen long after I am dead? No other artist or institution I know of have come up with any real solution to this issue yet, so I thought Slashdot readers may have an idea. These editions can be sold for a large amount of money, so it doesn't have to be a cheap solution."
Fuck off, troll. In all the years you've been here, you've added nothing of value to Slashdot. Nobody pays you any attention, your trolling is infantile, and your opinions are merely fetid spurts of verbal diarrhea. You are either deliberately misinterpreting what I'm saying, or you've gone full retard and don't know how to get back. Just because you have an obese body, a tiny dick, and like to fuck a fleshlight with a picture of Jar-Jar Binks taped to it does not make you a geek. You don't get to converse with the geeks at the big boy table, you get to hang out with the other helmet headed window licking dorks on the short fucking bus, capiche?
I'm not a pompous fuck for saying I'm better than you, hell, I've shat things better than you.
Now that that's out of the way, let me clarify for anyone stupid enough to believe sexconker's creative interpretation of my thoughts. I don't think the artist makes a god damn difference. Fine art is anything that a large enough group of people consider emotionally meaningful for a long enough period of time. Period. Artist makes no difference, medium makes no difference, skill makes no difference, the only measure of fine art is the total amount of emotional impact it delivers.

You're the troll.
Telling people what is and what isn't art.
You got told.
Deal with it.
Tape is an ancient technology and Unix is similarly ancient.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
You're the troll?
Telling people what is and what isn't art?
You got told?
Deal with it?
Troll the you're?
Art isn't what and is what people telling.
Told got you!
It with deal.
