Artists Danny Snelson and Mashinka Firunts examine the role of data formats and card catalogs under the sign of the archival database. This mediagenic performance navigates Primary Information and ICA collections to ask: how might one stage the database and what changes does a user introduce to her archive?
would it appear like something else i’d read on jstor, a go-to place for knowledge, john mchale better than bucky fuller i think, foregrounding format versus medium, reading the archive through selection, speak to a pdf in an intuitive way, i didn’t speak to my pdf at all, how important is it that this format is open, it was terribly drmed, a 747 page iso, pdftk, the automatic recording of every single Facebook post, why do i need an archive, take pictures and keep a file somewhere, is this going to be archived
