Anna Mladentseva
<p>This week we are visiting with emerging conservation professional Anna Mladentseva. Throughout the course of her undergraduate and masters studies at University College London, Anna has been building some very fresh philosophical and ethical frameworks for how we think about the conservation of software based art, net art in particular, and her perspective is refreshingly grounded in a very sort of hands-on technical approach. In our chat we delve into the ins and outs of studying Flash, reframing how we think about an artist’s relationship to their source code, and what it means when a conservator is flagged as a hacker. Our chat finds Anna just wrapping up her graduate degree, and about to embark on her doctorate studies where she will be (among other things) studying the digital collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum. Tune in to hear Anna’s story!</p>
