"There is still some work to be done to find out parameters - maybe parameters is the best word. For video art I guess there is a gained knowledge and a lot of people are aware of what the procedures and standards could and should be, depending on the end results, of course. I don’t think there will ever be one standard to preserve video art. There will always be differences between video art and video in general."
