Narrations contemporaines: écrans, médias et documents, événement organisé par Leverhulme International Network for Contemporary Studies et Chaire de recherche du Canada sur les arts et la littérature numériques ALN
The goal of this communication is to discuss ways of exploring the complexity of multimodal databases, discussing the possible translation of organized data into enhanced and adaptable interfaces.
Using the Digital Archive of Portuguese Experimental Literature as an example (www.poex.net), I will describe and provide examples of two different strategies: curating the Archive, i.e., reinterpreting database assets, creating conceptual and thematic exhibits; and appropriating and remixing the Archive, i.e., (ab)using the database for artistic and creative remixing.
Rui Torres est professeur associé à l’Université Fernando Pessoa où il enseigne la sémiotique et les nouveaux médias.
