Loved Asti’s comment that we need to invest in digital storage in the same way we invest in physical storage. #NZCCM2019

Vesna Zivkovic reminds us that we need to understand our buildings if we want to deal with environmental related issues such as black mould outbreaks. #NZCCM2019

1) #nzccm2019 @astisherring, first Australasian time based media Conservator, shares her experience with video and sound art. Important to recognize this work goes beyond preserving tools used to perform the piece such as the computers, projectors and speakers. Takeaways:

Lynn Campbell sharing her experience attending the IIC-Nordic conference in Iceland. Highlighted the difference between those who had been through a disaster and those that hadn’t and unrealistic expectations. Also noted lack of speakers from Italy, Japan and Turkey. #NZCCM2019 pic.twitter.com/pOifQSKsYr

Day 2 of #NZCCM2019 Leslie van Gelder and Harald Schlegel discuss their work creating a lamp that replicates the light used to create cave finger flutings 2800 years ago. A great collaboration that has opened up a greater understanding of the their creation process pic.twitter.com/KIGbupnRq5

Jane Hamill from @aucklandmuseum discussing the potential fading of UV fluorescence of geological minerals that will form part of a new exhibition area. Minerals are not always as robust as people assume. #NaturalScienceConservation #NZCCM2019 pic.twitter.com/047nkn115R

I am continually humbled by the diversity and professional efforts by conservators in #newzealand. NZ continually punches above its weight and demonstrates that it is not a country that operates in the past but is a leader in pushing the boundaries of practice. #NZCCM2019

#nzccm2019 Linda Waters from @Te_Papa highlighted the ways conservators can still allow interaction with an artwork but also encourage preservation. Best part was that they measured the incidences of damage or touching to the artwork which spiked on school holidays!

#NZCCM2019 Annette McKone from @Auckartgal gave overview of painted window panes from a church. Shocking deterioration in the form of fading and peeling of paint layers. Did analysis in house, @AucklandUni and @GCIConservation. Result was a consolidation of the paint, display.
