Reboot 9

Palais de Tokyo, Paris

Creuser l'archive. Evening organized by Jean-Michel Baconnier and Julien Previeux with Jerome Thievre and Benedicte Defontaines. It is understood that when a computer is rebooted, unlike when it is reset, this involves restarting it, while preserving the data memorized on it. Therefore it is only logical, in the context of our Reboot evenings, that Christophe Kihm has suggested we should archive the entire year's sessions and provide a restoration of them in the form of projects, at the end of the cycle, then finally relaunch the cycle. So we have attended the whole year's presentations trying to collect and store as much information as possible. The data shared by those giving lectures have been archived with the help of all the recording supports and procedures available in this context: cerebral memories, digital memories, handwritten and typewritten texts, drawings, photographs, sound recordings, videos, PowerPoint, etc. Well, what should be done with such an archive when it comes to relaunching the machine? How is such a quantity of information to be restored? And what consultation tools are to be used? Are we currently living through the dream of Gordon Bell, a computer expert working for Microsoft, who is recording every second of his life, or will we remain haunted, as he is, by inevitable lapses of memory?
