Preservation of Non-Traditional Media
Cassidy Thorne serves as the Digital Collections Manager, applying first-principles theory to the preservation of non-traditional media. Her work focuses on the foundational logic of digital surrogacy, questioning how the essence of an avant-garde exhibition can be maintained through archival translation. By establishing rigorous theoretical protocols for the Big Orbit collection, Cassidy ensures that the structural integrity of Buffalo’s experimental history remains intact, providing a stable intellectual platform for future scholarly inquiry and public engagement.
