Save as: Social Memory
Symposium -> Archiving Gezi Park resistance in Turkey
One of the concerns during the Gezi protests was how to keep memories, pain and grief, anger, gains, and losses alive. How to preserve the experiences and present them in numerous media.
A symposium at SALT Galata brings together three artists, a curator, and an academic who works in the area of software art, archive, and media archaeology. Cultural practices that use the language of technology and digital born content from different perspectives of preservation and memory will be debated. How can the software itself be preserved along with the content it generates? In what way should software itself consider as the creative archive, arche, of our digital culture? What new archival practices does technology-based art and culture present? How do software, social media, and network practices introduce a sphere of counter-representation which curate alternative narratives of the present? Panelists will discuss the topics of archiving the present as we live, algorithmic curating in crisis, critical collective intelligence, and language of technology as a thinking tool.
