The Obsession for Archive - W+S Vasulka
In the beginning there were collecting physical objects from airports and military junkyards, kitchens and back yards, to document the coexistence of art and electronic media. Gradually followed by the desire to collect, to disassemble, to sort, to analyze and - above all - to share. The lifelong obsession for Archive - an utopian space to live in, for sharing, collaborating with others - meandering from studios, universities labs, foundations, new media centers, towards online archives, databases and virtual 3D worlds.
