Technology and Experimentation: From the Lab to the Library
Feb 19, 2024

Three people sitting and talking in red armchairs on stage in front of a screen reading 'Welcome. Technology & Experimentation: From the Lab to the Library".

Digital and advanced technologies are transforming our culture, allowing new cultural forms of expression and storytelling to flourish. But as cultural production shifts from the material to the virtual, how are libraries transforming the way they document and collect today’s culture for future audiences and researchers?

State Library Victoria and Frame Documentary present a conversation between international experts in digital media: creator Vincent Morisset (Canada) and curator Mia Ridge (UK), moderated by Ana Tiquia. They will discuss their work and practice, including:


How technology is shaping our culture and cultural production

Different creative processes for working with different technologies and interactive forms

How the shifts in cultural production are transforming what libraries collect and how they document it

Considerations that are needed for archiving, documenting or conserving new types of digital work


The conversation will be followed by Q&A with the audience.
