Abstracts
➺ Ambisonic recording as a tool for "Historically Informed Performance": an approach to sound archiving outside commercial record production
--
Alberto Díaz Marcos, África González Alonso, Pablo Espiga Méndez, Marco Antonio Juan de Dios Cuartas

The subjective perception of our listening is influenced by factors like dynamics, frequency range, and timbre perception, associated with various recording technologies of the 20th century. Historically-Informed Performance (HIP) should reformulate Historically-Informed Recording (HIR) to document performances using technologies that provide comprehensive information about performance spaces, instruments, and performer positioning. Ambisonic recording is optimal for transferring sound heritage from a broader perspective. This research, part of the DEePMusic project, aims to use ambisonic recording to reconstruct performances in their original spaces, proposing alternatives to sound archives based solely on commercial recording aesthetics.
➺ Implementation of preservation metadata for digitization of videographic documents in public health from VideoSaúde(VSD)/Fiocruz

Fiocruz, Brazil's largest public health research institution, is committed to public health policy innovation. Its Institute of Scientific and Technological Communication and Information in Health (ICICT) views audiovisual media as crucial for disseminating information and preserving public health memory. Through its Digital Preservation Program, Fiocruz develops strategies for preserving audiovisual collections, focusing on long-term access. VideoSaúde Distribuidora da Fiocruz is advancing a preservation ecosystem based on the OAIS model, applying PREMIS metadata to support the digitization and management of its audiovisual heritage.
➺ Video Art. Planning a preservation strategy through synergies between institutions.
--
Silvia Casagrande, Irati Cano Alkain, Pablo Maraví Martínez, Libe Belandia

Video art conservation faces a lack of responsibility in the cultural landscape, leading to vulnerability and potential loss. The "VideoFlux" project at the University of the Basque Country, in collaboration with Filmoteca Vasca, manages a collection of Basque video art, mainly u-matics. This project has structured a comprehensive preservation strategy, focusing on storage, handling, digitization, and accessibility. The experience, challenges, and solutions, including the use of open-source software for capturing and preserving digital material, will be shared.
➺ Preserving Ghana's Cinematic Legacy: Advocacy, Archives, and the Storytellers
--
Anita Afonu
--
This presentation explores a decade-long journey advocating for the repatriation and preservation of Ghana's cinematic heritage, starting with the 2012 documentary "Perished Diamonds." Despite challenges, the commitment to honoring post-independence Ghanaian filmmakers remains strong. Central to this advocacy is establishing an archive for Ghanaian cinema artefacts and narratives. Collaboration with Dr. Hodgkinson of the University of Oxford resulted in "The Storytellers," a film documenting contemporary Ghanaian filmmaking. At the 2024 IASA Conference, an interactive exhibition and a teaser of "The Storytellers" will be presented to spark dialogue and appreciation for Ghanaian cinema.
➺ Conservation on Sound and Audiovisual Archives – an Example of Council Archives in Post-war Taiwan
--
Chiu-yen Lin, Tzu-Miao Kuo

The National Archives Administration (NAA) of Taiwan, established in 2001, promotes the digitization of archival records, including sound and audiovisual archives. Taiwan's subtropical climate poses challenges for conservation. The Taiwan council’s sound and audiovisual archives from 1946 to 1998, listed in the “Memory of the World - National Registers of Taiwan” in 2018, serve as an example. Three NAA professionals completed an inventory and inspection of 9,458 audiovisual archives, conserving 32% of the damaged archives within two years. This process highlights Taiwan's democratic progress post-World War II and the Chinese Civil War.
➺ Projecte SòNORE. Difusión del patrimonio musical valenciano con perspectiva de género
--
Isabel Ferrer Senabre
--
SòNORE is a research project that gathers objects, people, and phenomena representing Valencian musical heritage with a gender perspective. It offers a comprehensive view of past musical practices of Valencian women and underrepresented groups. The platform provides free online access to documentary materials through a thematic catalog and narrative itineraries at www.projectesonore.com. SòNORE contextualizes and interprets patrimonial materials, including absent narratives and identities, challenging the androcentric canonical discourse. The project targets professionals, students, and the public, exemplifying current technological adaptation. The poster will describe the platform, focusing on knowledge transfer and dissemination possibilities.
