<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to draw your attention to a CFP for an upcoming special issue of the journal
<i>Arts</i> I am guest editing, themed around “Born Digital Cultural Histories”. The call is pasted below, and is online at
<a href="http://www.mdpi.com/journal/arts/special_issues/born_digital_cultural_histories">
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/arts/special_issues/born_digital_cultural_histories</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Arts</i> is an open access, online journal, and article processing fees are waived. There is no word count, and images are most welcome and will be in colour, which is welcome news if you have something visually rich to publish.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Full instructions for authors are at <a href="http://www.mdpi.com/journal/arts/instructions">
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/arts/instructions</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The deadline is the end of October.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the CFP might be of interest to people you know, I would be grateful if you’d bring it to their attention. Potential authors are very welcome to contact me with their ideas.<o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU">Whilst many artefacts today are produced, distributed and consumed solely in digital form, this situation is not completely new. Artefacts from previous eras
have also been ‘born’ digital. The advent of micro- or home computers in the mid-1970s and 1980s, for instance, saw a range of digital artefacts produced, amongst them digital games, demos, a range of experimental art, and other early software. These objects
are complex and interesting as are the preservation challenges they pose. While issues of hardware and software deterioration are arguably becoming better understood, the earliness with which decisions about significance and preservation strategies must be
arrived at marks these artefacts out as different from other forms of cultural heritage.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
