The what and the why of the Anarchive

-

Our "anarchive" can be defined in many ways. An autonomous place for the Relearn community to dialogue without words. As the traces of our collective thinking-out-loud. A collective warm up exercise familiar to the materialities of the everyday group chat. A clutter of information that is not the documentation of a past activity but of something that evokes the not yet known. An unhierarchical accumulation of images, documents and links to spark the tracks that perhaps will run through Relearn.

In the run up to July, we open up a shared digital space, as a low-tech hangout and a convivial mode of archiving. Analogous to the Relearn practice of archiving collective outputs without a focus on specific outcomes, this is our approach: the Relearn "anarchive".

How does it work?

The anarchive can be experienced as a group chat: it is open for anyone to join, without registration and accessible through a regular web browser. It is a place to meet other relearners and share thoughts, images, PDFs, texts etc.

During the face-to-face event, we aim to have in-print forms of the anarchive available at hand. We will use the contents as a collective starting point for our discussions and a way to map out our shared interests.

However, it is also a place to meet and interact with our friendly logbot. The logbot is a project which was created within the context of Varia as a way to support our modes of organisation and our need for on-the-fly archiving. It is Python program, written and maintained by Varia members, which sits in our group chats when invited and acts as a helpful co-anarchivist. This mode of ad-hoc digital archiving between friends is something we want to bring to the process of documenting our experience at Relearn this year.
