This special issue of Artnodes, inspired by the 10th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science, and Technology (RE:SOURCE), explores the critical role of memory in media art history. It examines how documentation, preservation, and emerging technologies shape the future of media art collections within and beyond institutional settings. Adopting archaeological and digital-art-historical perspectives, the issue highlights the evolving context of media art and its societal relevance. Contributions investigate theories, trends, and case studies, emphasizing how media art history connects with broader cultural narratives and supports a transdisciplinary understanding of digital creativity in contemporary society.
