Collection of issues and queries surrounding the topic of materiathek | material archive

comment: there are different possibilities to sort these questions

• depending on each participant
• focus of work
• by main topics like immateriality, phenomenology, practicality, speculation etc

first list (without further sorting, Karin)

• what are or can be divergences and confluences between digital and physical material?
• what are the core aspects of artistic processes considering the material aspect?
• can start and end points be made visible/readable/perceptible in any form? are there start and end points?
• what is the "inbetween" of material? are these the processes or different states?
• what are relevant categorizations? what kind of taxonomy is sensible or practical?
• are descriptions in an archive/collection enough? what kind of digital, tactile, linguistic tools can be combined or are necessary for a diverse approach?
• what kind of observations and experimentations are possible in respect to time, process, change?
• is there a question of time or temporality in general?
• what are terms of acting, with and within and outside of material aspects?

how do we define physicality and all overlapping, intersecting, negating, grazing features to the non-physicalical?
