Workshop on alternative practices for documentation, archiving and accessing artistic projects based on unstable technologies.
LABoral’s Mediateca_Archivo [Media Libraries] reached one of its objectives as a space for continuous dialogue connecting the methods and formats used by established institutions with experimental ways of approaching documentation, archiving and the preservation of the contemporary forms of expression. If an archive has a central role in the construction of collective memory and in the recovery of others, consigned to oblivion, it should also break this memory-oblivion duality and encourage the creation of other taxonomies, and in turn become a way of creating a space for the artistic community in the Principality of Asturias.
