Douglas Dodds is an independent curator and researcher who was a Senior Curator at the V&A, where he built its digital art collections and curated Chance and Control and Digital Pioneers.

I always like to say that the V&A collects things which tell stories, which demonstrate something to the audience, whoever the audience is, multiple audiences.

We acquired a work by Casey Reas in the early 2010s from his Process series. It was essentially a digital file. It didn't come with the hardware.
