Interactive Poster Presentation at the IIPC Web Archiving Conference 2023
During the 20th Web Archiving Conference of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), I introduced my research through an interactive poster presentation, where we co-created the results section during the poster session.
During a 5-minute lightning talk, I introduced my research by highlighting two key questions: for whom do we preserve, and at what cost? And who determines the future of our digital past? In my opinion, these are essential questions to ask in a world facing a global ecological crisis. Do we really need to hit save every time?
I wanted to explore if the three narratives I began to recognise in the literature on personal digital archiving, obsolescence, obfuscation, and abundance, resonated with the personal archiving habits of archiving professionals
To start conversations around these narratives, I created three yes/no statements that could be accessed through the QR code on the poster and the handouts (see images below). During the poster presentation, the responses were visualized on the poster by cutting out parts with scissors, blacking out other parts with a marker, and adhering shimmering stones (see images above).
