Archiving Digital Artwork For Museum Purchase? 266
An anonymous reader writes "I am an artist working with 3d software to create animations and digital prints. For now my work just gets put on screening DVDs and BluRays and the original .mov and 3d files get backed up. But museums and big art collectors do want to purchase these animations. However as we all know archival DVDs are not really archival. So I want to ask the Slashdot readers, what can I give to the museum when they acquire my digital work for their collection so that it can last and be seen long after I am dead? No other artist or institution I know of have come up with any real solution to this issue yet, so I thought Slashdot readers may have an idea. These editions can be sold for a large amount of money, so it doesn't have to be a cheap solution."

How about some of that fancy holographic cube storage I've been hearing about?
At least if it fails it'll be pretty to look at!

Digital art can't be easily copied? That's a pretty novel claim! :D

Whoever added that tag, the only connection you've got to art are the lead paint chips you ate as a child.
mmmmm lead paint chips :)~
Have you tried them with library paste sauce and a side of crayons? Delicious!
