#artdocarchive

Today as a guest in the "Creative Archiving" seminar at Portland State University, I presented two software prototypes I was involved in, #cooArchi and #ArtDocArchive, which both work with graphs in specific ways:

In cooArchi (community oriented archive interface) we use graphs as a way to write together. In Art Doc Archive, we tried to preserve websites and social media of artists, and also to map it as a graph.

Find code, data, research online:
cooarchi.net/
art-doc-archive.net/

And staying on the topic of using (various) #Wikimedia software products for art and culture, I also published a blog post with the #ArtDocArchive project earlier this year... Didn't share the Zenodo link until now, so here it is: zenodo.org/records/7886825

I outline three case study projects - Rhizome's ArtBase; The Digital Archive of Artists' Publishing; and the Joan Jonas Knowledge Base.

With thanks to @lukasfx for inviting me to take part in the project.

ZenodoSites of art and networks of data: Archiving artists' websites as linked open dataArtist websites are sites of art where ‘digital social memory’ gets accrued over time. As such, they require preservation care similar to other forms of cultural heritage. This essay describes several sets of medium-specific, socio-technical challenges to archiving artist websites connected to the processes of both archiving published materials on the web, as well as subsequently providing access to these materials via an indexed database. These challenges can be grouped under the rubrics of ethics, technology, curation, as well as cataloguing and sustainability. The primary focus of the essay is to discuss the challenges – and opportunities – associated with cataloguing and structuring digital archive (meta)data, by drawing upon findings from the practice-led research project to redesign the ArtBase archive of net art, alongside two further case studies. All case studies present critical engagements with Linked Open Data (LOD) software environments as means to collaboratively organize, store and provide access to heterogeneous archive data on the web. The possibility to capture and represent complex networks of relations and dependencies through the flexible structure of LOD is key to the concluding policy recommendations.

#ArtDocArchive is primarily a web archiving project. We try - with scraping, parsing, machine learning and visualization - to extract and convey art historical information from web publications of the art scene (websites, social media).

#ArtDocArchive ist vor allem ein Projekt der Web-Archivierung. Wir versuchen - mit Scraping, Parsing, Machine Learning und Visualisierung - aus Webpublikationen der Kunstszene (Webseiten, Social Media) kunsthistorische Informationen zu extrahieren und zu vermitteln.

On May 8, the public presentation of the prototype #ArtDocArchive, whose development I initiated and coordinated with Anna Schäffler, took place at the @technologiestiftungberlin hosted by @kulturBdigital The project was funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe in Berlin.

The project explored ways to preserve the documentation that artists maintain about their work online. This includes websites, blogs, and social media.

The results, in the form of open source code, open data, and open access publications will soon be available centrally at art-doc-archive.net/, as well as on open repositories.

Material about the project is already available here:

Am 8. Mai fand die öffentliche Vorstellung des Prototyps #ArtDocArchive, dessen Entwicklung ich mit Anna Schäffler initiiert und koordiniert habe in der Technologiestiftung Berlin statt. Gefördert wurde das Projekt von der Senatsverwaltung für Kultur und Europa in Berlin.

Das Projekt erforschte Möglichkeiten zur Erhaltung der Dokumentation, die Künstler*innen über ihre Arbeit online pflegen. Dazu gehören Websites, Blogs und soziale Medien.

Die Ergebnisse, in Form von Open Source Code, offenen Daten und open access Publikationen sind bald zentral auf art-doc-archive.net/, sowie auf offenen Repositorien verfügbar.

Hier gibt es jetzt schon Material zum Projekt:

With #ArtDocArchive (a 3 month software prototype funded by Senate for Culture in Berlin) we publish an open access paper series around #platforms, #webarchiving, #linkedopendata and #digipres.

The first papers are out on the blog #reclaimyourarchive:
