Subverting Archival Practices. Documenting and Collecting, Data Management and Visual Representation

Conference and workshop organized by the documenta archive in collaboration with Barbara Büscher, professor of media history and intermediality at the University of Music and Theater Leipzig

Fridericianum function room 

This event addresses the politics and logic of digital infrastructures in archival and artistic contexts. Artistic and curatorial initiatives often make use of commercial internet platforms as workspaces and documentation spaces. These digital tools are growing increasingly insecure in light of current developments in big data. The conference will explore possible institutional and non-institutional alternatives.
