preservation and classification systems

a project ❝preservation and classification systems: contemporary archives❞ delves into the challenges faced by modern archival systems in today’s data-driven world. it uses system design methodologies and structures to identify leverage points and create intervention.

archival organizations are crucial for preserving societal memory, identity, and history. many existing systems contribute to exclusion and the loss of diverse voices. in an era where the politics of memory are increasingly contested, it seeks to establish fairer and more democratic preservation practices.

exploration of the key issues such as inclusion or exclusion, homogenization, and manipulation of cultural narratives. by redefining archives beyond storage function, the project emphasizes their potential as spaces for creating meaning and reshaping collective experiences.
