Contextual Files

Plain Text (.txt) — Additional text files beyond the Infosheet are encouraged as very efficient data vectors.

Portable (.pdf) — The PDF format allows for scans, press releases, certificates of authenticity, etc.

Image (.jpg) — Multiple images are encouraged, and often required to fully capture art.

Floating Image (.png) — The PNG format allows for images with transparent backgrounds.

Animated Image (.gif) — GIF, the most charming format, is strongly encouraged.

Audio (.mp3) — Voiced descriptions of the object, as well as recounted stories about it, are excellent archival material.

Video (.mp4) — For installation and time-based art, a video is often required to fully capture it.
