=
Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology, held =

visitors to explore the research alliance's key areas of focus:

- Documentation strategies and structures adapted to these works of art
- A typology and historical listing of the technologies deployed by the
=
artists

components
- Terminological tools and structures for the electronic arts
The DOCAM Web site also offers a list of related research committees and
=
their members, information on DOCAM events, and electronic and media art
=
conservation and documentation resource directories. Research reports =
and articles on case studies conducted by DOCAM will also be added =
regularly to the site. And finally, a thematic scan of the key research
=
areas targeted by DOCAM is accessible from the site.
