Arnold Dreyblatt used an encyclopedia he found in a used book shop in Istanbul,
Who is Who in East & Central Europe as a “quarry” for
hypertext operas, performances, installations and book projects and now this website:
This archive of collective memory - the collected biographies of artists, scientists,
politicians of eastern European origin, spotlighted at a historical moment (1933),
shortly before their mass extermination under Fascism: thus excerpts from different
biographies may be found under key words such as “music”, “opera”,
“art”, “forgotten provinces”, “underground work”,
“individual philosophies”, etc. Reading and writing takes place, in
this continuously updated space of recollection, as a journey (“navigating”)
from one biography to another. Here antiquity’s teaching on the locations
of memory is given a sensual and narrative aesthetic form: the stories of collective
memories may no longer be told in a linear way. It is the ensembles and plateaus
of captured moments that count, or recount. In-between spaces, markings, intersections
where something happens, where branches occur. To whom do the traces and remainders
of social movements belong? How may revolts, revolutions and sub-cultural inroads
be recorded, documented and transmitted? |
