From the 15th till the 18th of January we participated in the Taking Care of Things<\/a> Meeting at the Stadtarchiv L\u00fcneburg Germany. This was also the closing event for the Post Media Lab Incubator project at Leuphana University and our research fellowship with them.\"tasty8mmtelecini\"<\/a> See the documentation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The visit began with a tour of the city archive during which we heard about the main activities of the institution not least the film, map and image collections. They wish to extend access to these via street access sync points in the near future.<\/p>\n

\"robertshowsinterlace\"<\/a><\/strong>We convened one of seven care groups Mesh Media!<\/strong> to look at open, collaborative systems that facilitate collective abilities to store, curate, share, edit, redistribute and re-purpose media while at the same time creating new frames of reference and practice in public. We were pleased to have presentations by\u00a0Eric Kluitenberg of Tactical Media Files, <\/a>Volker Grassmuck and Jan Torge of \u2018InternetTV for the newMedia Generation\u2019 Grundversorgung, <\/a>open wireless network advocates Freifunk Lueneburg <\/a>and Robert Ochshorn with Interlace<\/a>. (See last section for more details..)<\/p>\n

\"haukeatponsbar\"<\/a>Media was selected from the respective archives and uploaded to publicly presented syncronisation points adjacent to each Freifunk node in Lueneburg city centre.<\/p>\n

\"lunenodemap\"<\/a>We produced a map to illustrate the locations of syncronisation points as a\u00a0 data trail which was toured by a small group of Lueneburg locals. They were encouraged to scan the QRcode posters and NFC tags they found on the street first connecting to Freifunk wireless then activating the BTsync to distribute the images and films.<\/p>\n

\"thingsqrcode\"<\/a>The post-medial is not tied to any particular modality of media, neither to \u201cnew\u201d or \u201cold\u201d, \u201cdigital\u201d or \u201canalog\u201d, nor to \u201cconnected\u201d or \u201coffline\u201d. Nevertheless it relies on new medial affordances (what? affordances! :-)) and possibilities, allowing for new kinds of collective repositories and living archives. How can these new collecitve, transitory and ad-hoc repositories of \u2018many media\u2019 look like? What are their (possible) protocols of turning consumers into makers, individuals into groups, and media into structured, living and meaningful (micro-)social memory? What are possible assemblages that withstand idiosyncrasy and expert-ism, but are \u2018avant-garde\u2019 and progressive in form and function nevertheless?<\/p>\n
