\n<\/a><\/p>\nHow are digital and data technologies transforming the archives of contemporary warfare, and how are artists responding to these changes? Join\u00a0Heba Y. Amin, Anthony Downey, Sophie Dyer\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Oraib Toukan<\/strong>\u00a0for the book launch of\u00a0(W)archives<\/em>.<\/a>\u00a0Archival Imaginaries, War, and Contemporary Art\u00a0<\/em>(Sternberg Press, 2021).<\/p>\n(W)archives<\/em>\u00a0brings together artists’ and scholars’ perspectives to investigate digital archiving as integral to the technology of warfare, and the response of art and visual culture to this material. (W)archive is used as a term to look at how digital archiving intersects with images, bodies, senses, infrastructures, environments, memories, and emotions. The book examines how this new digital archival material of war is addressed and reconfigures artists’ archival practices over the last decades. It suggests how archives can be mobilised to articulate political demands, shape new forms of evidence, and make palpable the experience of living with war.<\/p>\nThe discussion is chaired by the book’s co-editors\u00a0Daniela Agostinho<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Solveig Gade<\/strong>.<\/p>\nRespondents invited to the discussion:
