| [Nettime-nl] workshop "Towards Open and Dynamic Archives" // 10 juni // VUB Brussels |
De workshop 'Towards Open and Dynamic Archives' vindt plaats in het
kader van het BOM- VL project . BOM-VL ('Bewaren en Ontsluiten van
Multimediale data in Vlaanderen') werd begin 2008 opgestart onder
impuls van het kabinet Economie, Innovatie & Wetenschapsbeleid van
minister Patricia Ceysens. Voor de eerste keer wordt in Vlaanderen
een breed project opgestart, dat de problematiek van opslag &
ontsluiting van multimediaal materiaal zal bestuderen, en praktische
oplossingen zal voorstellen. De multidisciplinaire aanpak wordt
versterkt door de samenwerking van alle belangrijke spelers in de
cultuur- & mediasector.
Een van de werkpakketten buigt zich over vraagstukken rond het
gebruik van online multimediale archieven. Wat zijn de heersende en
gewenste sociale, cultuerele en economische paradigma's rond het
gebruik, distributie en uitwisseling van online audiovisueel
archiefmateriaal en hoe kunnen die modellen geïmplementeerd worden?
Welke waardevolle inzichten kunnen onttrokken worden aan het web 2.0
discours, en wat zijn de potentiële knelpunten? Wat betekent de golf
van "mass amateurization" en kunnen daar duurzame economische
modellen tegenover gezet worden? Op deze kwesties wordt dieper
ingegaan tijdens deze workshop, waar de visie en methodiek van
meerdere ambitieuze Europese archiveringsprojecten worden toegelicht.

Towards Open and Dynamic Archives
The traditional functioning of audiovisual archives is being
completely reshaped by today’s technological advancements. The
expansion of fast broadband networks and the availability of
software, hardware and recording equipment have broken down the
barriers to the production and distribution of audiovisual content.
Large quantities of multimedia materials are flowing on the Internet
and into the archives every day, and all over the world ambitious
projects are set up to digitalise heritage collections. Moreover,
media start to look more collective and inclusive: the ubiquitous
"Web 2.0" discourse promises new levels of participatory culture in
which all users are producers, sharing, appropriating and remixing
content, overcoming the old regime of top-down broadcast media.
Blogs, wikis, social networks and "user-generated-content" tools are
presented as the new wave of voluntary alliances that users seek
online. Even the traditional media are swept away into the hype: the
BBC designated 2005 as the "Year of the Digital Citizen", in 2006
Time magazine chose "You" as the as its esteemed Person of the Year.
These new socio-technological dynamics are generating many
challenges, as well as opportunities for the use and exploitation of
audiovisual archives, to the potential advantage of various user
groups, in the cultural, educational and the broadcasting sectors,
and for the general public. How do audiovisual heritage institutions
and broadcasters deal with these new social and economical paradigms?
How can sustainable online archives be generated, taking into account
the relentless instability of digital technology and the Internet,
and the stranglehold of the corporate regimes of monopoly that call
themselves copyright and intellectual property? How to create meaning
and value within the abundance of "free" content and build vital
contexts for exploration, participation and education? What are the
potentials and limitations of user-generated tagging and folksonomy
systems to improve description and searchability? How to respond to
changing forms of labour, knowledge and value, triggered in part by
sociable web media? Which strategies can be used to address the
challenge of legitimating content produced within an interactive and
participatory media ecology? How can we embrace the potential of
network culture and create truly open and dynamic archives where
reception, interpretation and creation encounter one another?
These and other questions will be discussed during a workshop,
organised in the context of the BOM-Vl project. Five international
guests, who are each involved in ambitious audiovisual archiving
projects, will enlighten their perspectives on the issues at hand.
