Digital art community Rhizome is developing a way of preserving internet art by recreating the operating system or browser on which it was originally made. Rhizome's artistic director, Michael Connor, said the emulator software will not necessarily preserve the actual artwork but the software that made it run. The organisation already has an archive of digital art called the Art Base together with a software curator. Connor spoke during an exhibition of art made on the internet showing at New York City New Museum.
