ACKnowledge - Artists Community Knowledge

Proudly funded by NWO, ACKnowledge is exploring alternative knowledge production within the arts, art collections, and those that make them. While looking at real-life examples of contemporary art objects and practices the knowledge garnered seeks to impact and develop other social sectors, ranging from archives to activists, and from analogue affordances to material knowledge. Beeld en Geluid plays a key role in this project by leading subproject 3, better known as CRAFTED.

Analogue recording devices

With the everchanging and encroaching digital world the audio and visual aspects of our analogue heritage seem to come and go as fast as they were initially there. With these changes come vital questions on if there were elements worth archiving beyond the item itself. How can we gather knowledge from analogue audio-visual materials and production and make it useful for a new generation striving for knowledge, skills, techniques and traditions of a certain craft?

CRAFTED therefore investigates our analogue audio-visual heritage in collaboration with contemporary audio and visual artists and craftsmen to bring forward new knowledge of their crafts practices.

CRAFTED looks at how re-appropriating and documenting a craft, artist, and practice, enables a better understanding  of the possibilities and limitations of analogue media technologies. To achieve this, CRAFTED combines desk research and interviewing with experimental research methodology and a workshop format. Beeld en Geluid structures these experimental workshops around bringing together people involved in the analogue audio-visual craft in order to share, create, think through and imagine how an archive of these kinds of practices can be preserved and taught for future and contemporary makers.

 

In total there are three workshops; (i) Media students not familiar with analogue audio-visual tools and practices (ii) Analogue producers and artists making pieces with social justice goals, who critically intervene in archival ethics and (iii) Analogue film artists who push the technical medium, and are interested in archiving. Each of them use a combination of research, discussion, exercises, and experimental media archaeology with the focus on the craftsmen.
