the Standby program
is a not-for-profit media arts service organization specializing in the digitization and conservation of time-based media, as well as postproduction services, to support the creation of new work.
Our Services
Preservation
We restore and digitize fragile video and audio works — safeguarding artistic and cultural history before it fades. Every reel, cassette, and disc we save keeps an artist’s voice alive for future generations.
Post Production
Standby offers professional editing, color, and audio services that help artists and organizations bring new work to life — with the same care we bring to preservation.
COnsultation & Support
From evaluating collections to planning complex installations, we guide artists, curators, and archivists through every stage of preserving and presenting time-based media.
