Living Archives critiques our current understanding of archives as objective, valuable, and complete, exploring how intangible, transient, hidden, and mundane narratives and everyday experiences can be archived and their significance. It aims to transform archive from a noun, complete and stagnant at any point, to the verb (to) archive, highlighting the significance of the process. The archives here are living - because they are about living people and their everyday lives, but because they will themselves keep growing. They question: How is it decided what should be archived and made part of our collective memory? ‍Furthermore, how can we archive intangible, transient, and subjective experiences? These questions are prompted by the concept of Data Humanism, developed by Italian designer Giorgia Lupi. She believes that data represents real life. She critiques the impersonality of a merely technical approach to data and begins designing ways to connect data to human narratives and stories. The thesis explores different aspects of everyday life and identifies three key pieces that make up our everyday experiences: self (emotions and memories), other people (world of interactions), and things that occupy our shared space (objects, decay and traces of use). The goal is to decentralize archives and the process of archiving to transform it into a way of community-building. Despite being mundane and seemingly insignificant, archiving such transient experiences reveals aspects of our everyday lives that we don’t pay attention to or shy away from reflecting upon. Furthermore, the process of sharing these creates stronger ties through shared experiences.
