Flid Memory, Closing Conference, Open Set Lab - livestream
During the period of September 2017 to January 2018 a group of designers and artists from the Open Set Lab conducted research while exploring the archive of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. From their positions as visual makers and thinkers, the participants of the program examined how they relate to the archive as an institution, algorithmic environment and to the archival material itself. They encountered the archive from their own historical and social standpoints, from their disciplines, cultural backgrounds and subjective perspectives. They reconsidered the material and the structure of the archive in order to challenge it. They chased the ghosts and myths, conventions and icons, forgotten heroes and invisible voices in the archive, in order to show the structures and the power of the narratives living inside it.
We invite you to engage in a conversation about the subjects and questions that have been at stake during the program: What are the conditions for rethinking our contemporary relations to the historical material, or reshaping public debates around it? What is the role of artists in this process and if / how can it be done through artistic means? Is there an artistic practice of remembering that can determine our relation to the present and future? While presenting the development of the Open Set Lab research we aim to inspire new debates and artistic research around archival matters.
