'Accessing the Archive' is curatorial project that is produced by a group of students from MA Culture, Criticism and Curating at Central Saint Martins.
The project revolves around the issues relating the the process of archiving, and alternative ways for the interpretation and presentation of archive materials.
Working in a similar manner to a digital algorithm, we have built a bot to catalogue and redistribute selected material from the archive, across various digital social media accounts.
The project has been displayed at the Window Gallery, Csm and then, exhibited at the Web We Want Festival taking place at the Southbank Centre in May, 2015. "Accessing the Archive" is part of an archiving project that is created working with archive materials from the Southbank Centre. The project is intended to explore and investigate issues related to the process and politics of archiving, the interpretation and presentation of archive materials.
