Emulation and Classification Documentation for PAFDAO Project

Abstract

The following documentation has been excerpted from the appendices of the Preserving and Emulating Digital Art Objects whitepaper. This documentation outlines the results of in depth technical and forensic analysis of the artworks in the test bed collection of the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art. There are two documents included here: one is a description of the artwork classifications developed by the project team and the second has step-by-step directions for configuring and running standalone emulator software to provide access to now-obsolete digital media.
