"The Adobe Museum of Digital Media (AMDM) is a unique virtual space designed to showcase and preserve groundbreaking digital work and to present expert commentary on how digital media influences culture and society"
This museum brings up interesting questions regarding the relationship between the ephemeral and the intangible. They are not synonymous, but where is there overlap? What does this mean for issues of recording and representing the ephemeral?
Perhaps the most striking detail for me is that they commissioned an architect and "building contractor" to design and "build" a virtual structure! This to me suggests that our relationship to the tangible, the concrete, plays an important part in our conceptions of the intangible and the ephemeral, and the ways in which we frame them.
