Does the advent of the digital interface ease the tension of forgetting in the archive? Using a practice research methodology working with and through moving image archives, Steven’s project interrogates relationships between artefact, body, digital space and performative scenarios. He does this through mapping the critical and embodied processes of searching, extracting, and reusing archival material as an interdisciplinary artist.<\/div>\n
\n

The archive has been described in terms of its remedial use \u2013 \u2018hypomnesic\u2019, a therapeutic externalization of memory, creating a mark of our existence so the \u2018substrate\u2019 to be carried on into the future (Derrida, 1996). Is the digital offer of algorithmic searching and screen based evidence flattening this mark? Are the complexities of the varied, complicated, intrinsic and mediated histories held in an archive different when you can\u2019t touch them, and although always available, easily forgotten?<\/span><\/p>\n

This presentation will consider how art produced in response to archives and its contents might be shaped by current social understanding of historical records, where approaches to cultural documentation are governed by \u2018rules of practice\u2019, and yet are now transformed by the approach taken through the digital interface.<\/span><\/p>\n
