Book review: re-collection: art, new media and social memory by Richard Rinehart and Jon Ippolito

In Re-collection, Richard Rinehart and Jon Ippolito argue that the vulnerability of new media art illustrates a larger crisis for social memory. They describe a variable media approach to rescuing new media, distributed across producers and consumers who can choose appropriate strategies for each endangered work. Hailey Maxwell isn’t quite convinced, and would like to have seen more in-depth analysis of the themes.
