Archiving the Data-body: human and nonhuman agency in the documents of Kurenniemi.

Geoff Cox, Nicolas Malevé & Michael Murtaugh (link)


Archive as:

  • cultural paradigm
  • collective memory
  • complexities of historical and temporal processes

→ Constant: (Preliminary Work)Towards an Online Archive
→ Constant: Active Archives (2006)

Constant Archives:

  • readable
  • writable
  • executable
  • subject to certain ethical standards

Speculations on the specific qualities of the materials by running computer programs

Problems:

  • Legality
  • Quantity
  • Fidelity


Challenge: Archive; decentralised and remains active: meaning continually produced, rather than fixed in geopolitics of time and space.

Tools that are used for archiving can be registered as part part of the archive.
