Abstract:
The FILE Festival is a renowned Brazilian cultural institution promoting Art and Technology. Its FILE ARCHIVE is a dig- ital repository covering 23 years of electronic art history, in- cluding installations, performances, and more. Led by Paula Perissinotto and Fabiana Krepel, the archive uses open-source software TAINACAN to manage and release its collection. Partnerships with organizations like Tainacan, ISEA, SIGRAAPH, ADA, Ars Electronic archives as well as with the GLAM Project of Wikipedia extend its impact. Supported by ProAC Espresso Lab Call and the Digital Collections and Research Project led by Professor Giselle Beiguelman, FILE solidifies its status as a leader in the Latin American Art and Technology landscape.
