Concept:  

 

We have become interested in the inherent failure of archives and repertoires to capture, restore and retain the past.
 
Saving the Conference is a project in which we will set ourselves
up for failure as we try to save all aspects of the whole conference through daily visual/ audio podcasts.
 
The motivation behind our project is to push our documenting and archiving methodologies to their
limits, to expose what we failed to capture, and discover what emerges when the past that was ´saved´ through audio, pictures and words is edited together into 15 minute long podcasts.
 
The audience of these podcasts will be the people whose lives and activities of the past day have been ´saved´. Consequently we hope to create encounters between people and their past selves and as a result expose and explore the warping that has occurred through our ´saving´ of their past.
 
Each day´s savings will be posted online at this location, and will also be available for viewing, and listening to at Studio T, and the Utrecht City Theatre, Zindering.

Each saving will be available the day after from 1 p.m.
