| Abstract | Just because politicians lie doesn't mean it's not important to vote. Digital fidelity may be an impossible ideal but that doesn't mean there aren't better principles than others by which to fail. Taking NMAA's experience digitizing over 4,000 images from its collection and re-presenting them in print, on disc and in the ether, the author propeses some guidelines for better failures in the future. |
