The Archiving Open House

The Archiving Open House (2004) is a prototype venue for archiving the physical traces from the Digitales Meeting Days by way of encounters between people (a process which I refer to as a play of archiving). The physical archives of the Digitales Meeting Days include minidisks, audiocassette tapes, CD’s, miniDV tapes, VHS tapes, floppy disks, and texts. Guests have been invited into my home to use media stations that I have set up there to access the material. Guest are invited to discuss their interest in an archive item with each other, and to record a brief indication of these discussions in booklets that I have prepared.
