MORE ABOUT ARCHIVES from Jasia Reichardt
Archives have their limitations. They consist of documents and other
records of past events. They don't reconstruct the past, merely record
it. And in so doing, their contents provide the material for us to
understand, imagine, or perhaps recall something we have witnessed, or
even been a part of.
Favourite archival documents of my choice would include Turing's
diagram of the Universal Turing Machine;
the design for a mechanical garden by the Polish poet, Tytus Czyżewski;
and the description in The Scientist Speculates (1962), by the
mathematician, I.J. Good of intelligent machines populating the world
and replacing themselves continually by more intelligent ones. He
thought that this might happen in 1978. There was no picture.
Finally, I treasure the series of images of Nam June Paik's event in
New York in 1982, during which his robot K-456 was run over.
