At the Evening of the V2_Archive, we looked at digital archives as dynamic spaces for creative experimentation. How can digital archives inform and inspire artistic practice and even provide raw material for new artworks? At this event we took a closer look at a range of artistic approaches that can uncover new patterns and relationships in the V2_ archive but also offer a fresh perspective on how digital archives can be experienced.

​

In this event, V2_’s archivist Arie Altena introduced the V2_archive, Marijn Bril took us on a question-driven journey through the online archive, after which Sandra Golubjevaitė led the audience in a collective ambient browsing experience. Finally, Vera van der Burg showed how artificial intelligence could radically change how digital archives are used and experienced in the future. ​
