Last week, on Thursday 9 and Friday 10 November, I spent two days at the CHArt 2006 conference. The title this year was Fast Forward – Art History, Curation and Practice after Media.

Previous CHArt conferences –CHArt has been taking place since 1985!– were concerned with the practice, history, and preservation of ‘computer arts’. Nevertheless this last event was broader, looking at current issues of curation along with questions of history and preservation.
