In this episode, Gabe speaks with Dr. Hannelore Roemich and Christine Frohnert who are leading the new Time Based Media (TBM) initiative at NYU. The three discuss the use of technology throughout art history, how conservation is evolving and developing alongside its use, and how the IFA's new Time Based Media initiative is preparing a new generation of art conservators to preserve the integrity of such works well into the future.
