++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://archive.parsons.edu ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ EXCAVATING THE ARCHIVE: NEW TECHNOLOGIES OF MEMORY an international colloquium on the state of digital archiving ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ co-sponsored by Parsons School of Design and AGENCY.COM ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Saturday June 3rd, 2000 9.30am-6.00pm at Swayduck Auditorium, 65 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY admission free If, one day, *everything* will be accessible online or in some digital format, then what will this really entail — practically and philosophically? "Excavating The Archive: New Technologies of Memory" will bring together internationally-renowned computer scientists, designers, new media theorists and artists from the U.S., Europe and Australia, to explore this utopian proposition. Speakers will define the cutting edge in digital archiving, presenting new projects and advanced software prototypes for collection, navigation, visual representation and data mining of vast bodies of information, in diverse cultural and commercial contexts. Among the questions "Excavating The Archive" will investigate are: • what new interfaces are being created for archive storage and retrieval? • what kinds of new materials and subjects are being archived? • what are the technological limits of digital archiving? • what assumptions lie behind these digital storage techniques ? • what metaphors and mapping strategies are being applied to navigate and retrieve data?
