Digital Social Memory
This channel documents videos from a 2017 event associated with a 2016 article written by Michael Connor called 'What is Digital Social Memory?' https://rhizome.org/editorial/2016/feb/18/what-is-digital-social-memory/ 'Throughout the day, panelists discussed problems of neutrality and surveillance. They raised questions about the intended audience of such archiving, as well as potential adverse effects on freedom of speech and privacy. User agency was a central theme; how much control should individuals have over how their data is collected? How will this new layer of surveillance affect interactions on social media? Should certain voices be privileged over others? They also analyzed the digital archive’s interpretation of political realities and, in turn, the archive’s influence on those lived realities.' The conversation was also documented as an interactive narrative, thanks to Lozana Rossenova. https://sites.rhizome.org/narrative-archives/digital-social-memory-2017/
