In this panel moderated by Mowelfund assistant audiovisual archivist Arvin Jason Aquino, Jap Oasan, Jigs Ancheta, Erwin Romulo, Jun Sabayton, and Julie Nealega will discuss various approaches to video art preservation, with a particular emphasis on digitizing analog formats.

As the shifts in technology continue to progress, the talk will expound on current preservation methods done through various equipment and techniques.
