D-ARK
T.E.H.D.A.S. ry:n videoarkisto on karttunut vuodesta 2005 lähtien. Arkistoon on tallennettu dokumentaatiota kotimaisten ja ulkomaisten taiteilijoiden performansseista. Ne on kuvattu taiteilijaseuran järjestämissä tapahtumissa, pääosin Perf -festivaalilla Porissa ja Perfo -klubilla Tampereella. T.E.H.D.A.S. ry:n ja Porin taidemuseon yhteistyöhanke arkistointikäytäntöjen kehittämiseksi käynnistyi vuonna 2012. Kehitystyön tuloksena on syntynyt performanssitaltiointien arkisto D-ark.
In English
D-ark (digital performance art archive) is based on a joint effort by the artist community T.E.H.D.A.S., which has created the archive, and Pori Art Museum, which is committed to preserving the archive for the future if the artist association were to be dissolved in the future. This guide explains the concept of D-ark and its metadata schema. It also addresses questions concerning performance art documentation, ownership, copyright and digital preservation. T.E.H.D.A.S. has actively organized performance events since 2005 and have systematically recorded the performances on video. At the moment D-ark holds over 300 video recordings covering a decade of events and festivals organised by T.E.H.D.A.S.
At the moment 61 recordings are published on the internet. The online database for collecting the metadata is available to authorized users. Master files are stored at Pori Art Museum. The museum will preserve the archive and provide it to the national digital long term preservation system. The concept of D-ark includes a modular metadata schema that makes a distinction between descriptive, administrative, and technical metadata. The model is designed to be flexible—new modules of objects or technical metadata can be added in the future, if necessary. D-ark metadata schema deploys the FRBRoo, Premis, VideoMD, and AudioMD standards. Administrative and technical metadata modules abide by Finnish digital preservation specifications.
