Daniel Montoya- today the archive is a back-up of a back-up
Soraya Marcano- the institution can also act as a back-up of a back-up, however it is also a control or authority agent
Daniel Montoya- the institution centralizes information
Soraya Marcano- the institution as a mode of preserving information is not useful any longer in our millennium
Daniel Montoya- we have more choices, it is about multiplicity of choices, the institution as archive is no longer functional
Soraya Marcano- it is more like a mortuary, a cemetery where information is buried; it is not diversified
Daniel Montoya- the solution is about diversifying information, not about controlling information; relinquishing control
Rejin Leys- Are we talking about museums? I know there are some trying to come up with innovative ways to have the public interact with objects and generate information and experiences, but change if difficult for most large institutions. (Happy holidays to you both!)
Soraya Marcano- hi Rejin, happy holidays. yes we are indeed talking about museums. follow the thoughts.
Soraya Marcano- when you diversify you share, relinquishing control is necessary; it can be accessed in many ways, yet I do not agree into concepts of sharing information
Daniel Montoya- why?
Soraya Marcano- it is not about sharing, it is about something else
Daniel Montoya- it is about how do you organize your life work while relinquishing control
Soraya Marcano- giving access is not the same than sharing; still, fragmentation is a problem
Daniel Montoya- search engines are acting as the organizer of the fragments,Tagging as strategy
Soraya Marcano- Keywords as unifier
Daniel Montoya- yet,search results using these strategies can result in unrelated information
Soraya Marcano- the problem of the unrelated could be interesting
Daniel Montoya- how do you filter search results?
Soraya Marcano- the speed of our times, the hyperactivity; how to define our times?
Daniel Montoya- sharing
Soraya Marcano- I already told you, I have an issue with that word; sharing information is not the right concept
Daniel Montoya-it is about accessibility
Soraya Marcano- The intent is not to share; the intend is to gain visibility
Daniel Montoya- yes, it is about finding space
Soraya Marcano- it is about positioning you practice it is after all about finding your audience and your place in the art world
Daniel Montoya it is after all about attention and dissemination of information
Soraya Marcano- yet the problem of the unrelated can make you invisible in our times, the archive is turning into something very complex
Daniel Montoya- maybe after all the institution is the unifying agent
Soraya Marcano- Did you hear about the New Museum scandal?
Daniel Montoya- Should we talk about nepotism?
Soraya Marcano- what is nepotism?
Daniel Montoya- the idea that you love and favor your "nephew"
Soraya Marcano the art world as a small group of people that are friends and lovers and they also make business together
Daniel Montoya- The check, please!
