Creative Archives
Flickr can do things in ways traditional archives can’t: discuss.
About the program
The whole Flickr corpus is simply massive—tens of billions of digital objects, and growing every day. It’s one of the biggest image collections humans have ever created. Its huge scale makes it difficult to look after, let alone preserve.
Creative Archives investigates accessible tactics around ethics of care, decentralization, social or local archives, explorable formats, and machine-based support.
We’re interested in archiving the foundation itself too, from the start.
