Moving History – Archival Resources for Visual Artists
The following description comes from the event organizer.
Moving image material digitized at MIPoPS is available for artistic use!
MIPoPS’s work is primarily about preserving fragments of history held on fragile magnetic media, but they’re not exactly all work and no play! We encounter lots of interesting content as we pore over boxes of tapes from local collections, and often find ourselves thinking “Someone should use these in a music video!” or “This NEEDS to be in a documentary.” Luckily, many of the organizations whose materials we process are open to proposals from artists of all stripes to find creative applications for their content.
