Digital curator Richard Rinehart introduces Open Museum, an unprecedented approach to museum practice founded on free culture ideals and new media. Building on the foundation of research resulting from past digital media projects pioneered by BAM/PFA—including the NEA-funded national consortium project to preserve digital art—the Open Museum project will develop systems that will preserve and provide open access to “born digital” art, that is, art that was created and exists only in a digital format. Within the innovative legal, economic, and cultural framework of the Open Museum, the source code for all of these “born digital” artworks will be free for others to download, study, or re-mix into new works with the artists’ permission.
