Per Video
The online environment often appears to us as a space of timelessness. A space where artifacts of the past accumulate regardless of their original context and where they disappear again after satisfying immediate demand. But can the (post)digital landscape be used to revive lost, missing or displaced media, objects, actors or interfaces? A thematic collection of audiovisual essays allows us to understand the online space as a labyrinth of fragments and traces of analogue and digital histories that can be speculatively ''reconfigured'' to play out surprising exchanges between ''then'' and ''now'' as well as to create alternative or unrealized futures.
