Archival Corpus

2025. Video installation
Produced for the exhibition Moviments for staying alive de Modern Art Oxford

In a moment when digital repositories are key to the development of AI tools, Archival corpus wants to emphasise the sense of the corporeal in the practices that surround the archive. Using those same visual analysis tools that seem increasingly inevitable in the comprehension of large image collections, the collective explores the materiality of Modern Art Oxford’s archive and its relation with the human body, not just in its content, but in the querying, classification and digitizing tasks themselves.
