LIVE ARCHIVE (2/5)
Last year I collaborated with
@metaoffice_ to create the installation Live Archive that was exhibited during the
@iabr___ at
@nieuweinstituut in Rotterdam. One part of it was a cube that functioned as a scanner for texts, drawings and other artefacts. When the drawer closed, a flash got triggered, capturing any content to the archive, which could be explored in real-time.
How can a biennale function as a space of assembly? How can an event, a dialogue, or a conversation be made available to future visitors? When an exhibition becomes a place of encounter, the question of documentation arises. The Live Archive takes up the idea of the archive as a physical and digital structure for organizing knowledge and turns it into a dynamic and open-to-use installation within the Practice Place. The installation consists of four different tools, each inviting participants to trace their thoughts and learnings. Via drawings, sound, photographs, and moving images, the Live Archive produces a multilayered mapping. This open document can be reviewed and created by all visitors and bridges the physical and the digital, simultaneously creating an archive of the Assemblies taking place over the course of the biennale and the context in which these gatherings take place.
