The Kitchen and Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) presented the second in a series of ongoing discussions focused on the currency of archiving and distribution in the 21st century. Moderated by EAI Executive Director, Lori Zippay, and Kitchen Archivist Stephen Vitiello, this session included a report on the preservation of the organizations' video collections and archives; digital distribution platforms; artists' rights management; institutional practice, and a presentation of online archival projects. They also introduced a major collaborative project of The Kitchen and EAI, bringing together preservation and distribution within the framework of new technologies and shared organizational histories. The evening included a screening of rare treasures from the Kitchen and EAI archives.
