The Variable Media Network founded by the Guggenheim Museum and the Daniel Langlois Foundation look at models for preserving "performance, conceptual art, installations and, of course, artwork incorporating technological elements or relying on structures or networks that are themselves very unstable." Variable media suggests considering the description of works independently of the media used to create them. Rather than listing a work's physical components, the variable media approach is to understand the work's behavioral characteristics and intrinsic effects.
