Keynote Session: Archival Consciousness

Archival Consciousness is initiated by artist Mariana Lanari and graphic designer Remco van Bladel. Together they investigate archiving methods in cultural institutes in combination with digital technologies, working in close collaboration with archivists to make archive collections more visible, accessible, and resilient.

Session I - Speculative Futures of Design Archives

Look around you. Imagine if, in 50 years, there will be no trace of the work of designers, or there will be fragmented parts that are impossible to find. What would we lose if we had no access to that knowledge? Also allow yourself to dream about what the ideal archives of the future could look like. Speculate on the futures of design archives in this guided tour around Strijp-S.

Session II - Collaborative Care for Digital Artworks with LI-MA

How can we work together to preserve digital artworks for future generations? And what does it really mean to preserve digital works when the technology is rapidly changing? In this short workshop tools for working with and preserving digital art are introduced together with two projects that embody LI-MA’s approach to preservation.

Session III - Mapping Design Networks with Linked Open Data

How can Wikidata provide new knowledge and resources for designers? In this one-hour workshop, dive into the world of Linked Open Data (LOD) and Wikidata with Hay Kranen and Bibi Bodegom. Learn how these powerful tools are being used to map our collective design memory, and gain practical skills in querying data to uncover insights about designers worldwide.

Session IV - Disquieting the Graphic Design Archive: A Sonic Re-Mapping of the Fre Cohen Archive

In this talk, Loma Doom (aka Femke Dekker) and Alice Twemlow present a work in progress that seeks to activate the archive of Dutch graphic designer Fre Cohen through a sonic mapping of aspects of her life and work in early 20th-century Amsterdam onto the lives and work of researchers in the city today and in the future.
