Abstract:
Panel: (he)artbreaking to the core: zombie data and the arts of re/de/transcoding
Displaced things, absent or surplus artifacts and uncooperative material present more about the way we categorize and understand the world than about their own quality. They surprise and riddle, they raise questions, they challenge practices of (re)search and handling, they give reason to mysterious or spectacular explanations and adventures. As a kind of counterepistemic or counterexperience phenomena, they challenge mental models, routine scripts of everyday and professional life and trigger storytelling and discourse.
Thus, we should think about how we can archive such phenomena of disorder and what we can learn from their appearance and disappearance for future forms of archives and archiving practices. How can archives integrate disorder as an own quality?
