:amblue: AFTER MEMORY: Echoes in the Future Perfect Tense :amblue:

Exhibition at Kunstraum Kreuzberg until October, 11th!

After Memory reflects on how memory is affected by endless social media feeds, clouded storage spaces, automated data storage, and networked communication technologies. This bears both challenges and chances, as practices of remembering and forgetting are reconfigured and their competences are transferred from institutional actors to civic initiatives and individuals. In turn, the role of museums and archives is redefined, too, whose collections no longer preside over a sovereign narration of the past, but constitute shared repositories for the future.

Víctor Fancelli Capdevila works as a digital curator at Atelier Digitale Souväranität, before as digital archivist at the Open Resource Centre (ORC) in Karlsruhe. Originally, he worked in the field of website development and maintenance before gaining work experience at the university archive of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe. He completed a master's degree in media philosophy and art history at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design and has since dedicated his research to the (political) relationships between people, technology, education, and shared memory. This is reflected in his contributions to various conferences on archiving and teaching as well as in digital literacy workshops for NGOs as part of the EU3Digital project. He is part of the organisational team of Sobtec Congrés Sobirania Tecnologica in Barcelona.
