Minnesota Media Arts is an organization fostering the production, preservation and access to works of media arts, documentaries and independent programming, much of which is in imminent danger of being permanently lost. A vast amount of these early recordings are still on magnetic tape and have often been stored in conditions not designed for insuring their stability and preservation.These magnetic recordings deteriorate over time and after decades of neglect can be rendered unusable. Existing collections are mostly in the hands of private individuals and organization with limited resources to properly store, maintain or even catalog the recordings. An entire generation of artistic work is in eminent danger of being lost.
