Impulse meets…performingarchive.org

Anyone active in the independent arts scene accumulates countless memories over the years – in their hearts and minds, in basements and boxes. Do you want to ensure that none of this is lost? The performingarchive.org platform can help! You upload digital material free of charge onto the platform, describe it, and link it to data from other users. In this workshop, you will receive an introduction to this new tool and learn how to properly digitise analogue material. The initiative for this new online archive began at the 2013 Impulse Festival and already items from the festival’s history can be found on the platform. And anyone can add more. Incredible potential lies in this collective preservation of cultural heritage. At the start of the workshop, Sascha Förster from the Düsseldorf Theatre Museum will outline how new ways to archive and collect can inspire the work of existing institutions. Requirements for participation: your own laptop or tablet, as well as an object whose history you wish to share with others online.
