Jon Ippolito
<p>Since 1991 when he somewhat accidentally landed a curatorial position at the Guggenheim, Jon Ippolito has been passionately dedicated to building curatorial projects, research initiatives, and collaborations revolving around the preservation of time-based media art. Through projects such as the variable media questionnaire, exhibitions such as <em>Seeing Double</em>, and books such as <em>Re-collection: Art, New Media, and Social Memory</em> (co-authored with Rick Rinehart), Jon’s thinking about how to approach the documentation and preservation of art has unquestionably influenced a whole generation of professionals – not least of which through his role as director of the digital curation program at the University of Maine where he has been for the past twenty years.
