Abstract
A framework for the conservation and autonomous exhibition operation of historical digital artworks using virtual machines with snapshot-based error recovery. This system combines virtualization, automated monitoring, and snapshot-based restoration to enable unattended operation of fragile, internet-dependent artworks in museum contexts. Developed at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe for the exhibition 'Choose Your Filter! Browser Art since the Beginnings of the World Wide Web' (February–August 2025).
