Who’s archiving who?
During their residency, Donnachie and Simionato will give birth to a Temporary Office for Experimental Publishing, intended as a space of comparison of their existing production. They will focus even on the Careof Archive strategies of activation, which is going to develop a series of new editorial projects that are part of Atomic Activity Books.
The temporary office will even become the place for the verification process of the project The Situational Library, a partecipative and itinerant work of art based on electronic devices able to create a local open wifi network, in order to transfer the full content of a book to any connected mobile device or computer.
The project represents an attempt to make visible, even if only for a moment, the communities that are formed around the book, where the book represents a point of contact, the fulcrum of a shared space of exchange .
