Variable Media Art

Variable Media Art refers to artworks created in digital or experimental formats that can change or transition over time, often using technology that may become outdated. To ensure their preservation, artists and institutions develop strategies to adapt or re-interpret these works as technology evolves. Essentially, it's about safeguarding art that isn't fixed or static, allowing it to remain accessible and meaningful despite changing mediums or tools. This approach prioritizes flexibility and foresight to keep the artistic intent alive across different technological contexts.
