Abstract
Large technology heritage is inherently changeable, yet traditional conservation approaches frame change mostly as deterioration and endeavour to slow or stop it. A new theoretical framework for large technology conservation is needed that recognises the importance of changeability in large technology and seeks to preserve it without reducing authenticity.
Kinetic artworks are similarly changeable, and this paper discusses the application of emerging ideas in the conservation of kinetic artworks to the challenges of conserving large technology, including concepts of performance/sculptural duality, multi-faceted and evolving authenticity, and the role of the archive in informing the limits of changeability.
