| Zusammenfassung: | In 1985 the Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf acquired Nam June Paiks, "father of video art", multimonitor- installation Fish Flies on Sky. Since ist premiere in 1975, the work has been subject to constant development and was presented at international venues. Tragically, the crowd pulling installation was completely destroyed by a fire in 1993. In cooperation with Paik, it was later rebuilt on the same site. The first topic of this work involves the retrospective documentation of the earlier expositions of Fish Flies on Sky, as well as the technical documentation of the actual work. Discrepancies between the two versions at the Museum Kunstpalast are uncovered and some of the video tapes of the former manifestation, which were thought to be lost to the fire, are identified. The second part of this thesis is devoted to the development of a preservation strategy for Fish Flies on Sky. The continuity of the installation is critically endangered, as the CRT technology has become obsolete. After the collapse of the market it is hardy possible to obtain repair services and spare parts. This specific problem is virulent in media art preservation, but no practical solutions have been found yet. For this reason three concepts of emulating CRT-TVs are being presented and implemented in prototypes for the first time. |
