What if this were an archive? Abstraction, enactment and human implicatedness

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademic

Abstract

Digitalization is bringing about transformations in archival logic with far reaching implications. Whereas the traditional function of the archive is to collect, store and categorize documents of events that took place at one time and one place, digitalization shifts the emphasis to (re)generation in the present. These transformations can be seen reflected in projects from the field of dance that engage with new possibilities of digital technology to store and transmit dance knowledge, while at the same time, dance and these projects appear most useful to think through implications and potentials of the new archival logic brought about by digitalization.
