Reimagine the postapocalypse archival practice (Wordhole)
Reimagine the postapocalypse archival practice The apocalypse in the context of the Special Issue is a new beginning. All survivors are invited to redefine what an active archive is and how it can serve us all. Everything is gone, we lost all the files, only interviews with radio makers collected by Xpub1 have survived. Despite the huge data-loss, we face a great opportunity to re-establish protocols for archiving practices, letting people participate to integrate many different voices and experience an archive as something beyond static storage of data. This new beginning is time for us to foster co-creation and shared-responsibility. Let's listen to the interviews to recreate the world before the apocalypse and draw conclusions for the future. Ooh, it turned out that the Glossary wordhole also survived in intact condition. Lets stimulate collective thinking and together imagine future alternatives that can bring to life neglected narratives and make our practice more sustainable.
