Curating The Digital Attic Research Network Meeting #2: Workshop on Open-Source Infrastructures for Artist Archives

Description

This workshop was organised as part of the the second international research network meeting in the Curating the Digital Attic Archive RSE-funded MCO research project and hosted on this occasion by project partner Artpool Art Research Center at the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest. The 2-day meeting comprised archival fieldwork for partners from Scotland, Ireland and Hungary, a research exhibition (Output) curated by Bodor with Dora Halasi (archivist), and an internationally networked hybrid workshop with expert contributions invited from Denmark, France, Germany, and The Netherlands. Co-curated by project leads Judit Bodor and Roddy Hunter, the meeting explored the advantages and risks of developing open-source infrastructure for artists archives in practice through a range of case study approaches from the respective perspectives of an artist, a theorist and a technologist. The workshop was open for invited people only. New insights from the meeting will provide the basis for the forthcoming peer-reviewed conference paper Bodor and Hunter will present at Re:generative, the 11th International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science and Technology, Colombia, May 2025. Documentation of the workshop will be published on the Digital Attic Archive web platform to be launched in 2025.
