Pixelarchiv.cz: Why and how to get games into national cultural institutions
Archiving digital games is important for their preservation for future generations, but also for their understanding today as cultural heritage. This presentation and open debate will introduce the National Film Archive's project Pixelarchiv.cz which develops methods and tools for archiving Czech and Czechoslovak interactive art. Aimed (not only) at local developers, the session will clearly explain how the project builds developer-friendly archiving and collaborates with the retrogaming community and universities.
We will clarify what exactly is worth archiving and demonstrate the process using Creaks by Amanita Design. Come discuss and influence the paths toward meaningful care for gaming cultural heritage!
This talk will be held in Czech
