Insights Into the Digitization of the Audiovisual Archive of the
DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program

Mapping the Archive brings together different perspectives from the image and sound archive. It marks on a map of Berlin the places that fellows of the residency program engaged with during their stipends over a three-decade period when Berlin was still divided and shortly after the fall of the wall . The online project takes a comprehensive look at the networks of relationships cultivated by fellows as well as their movements through West and East Berlin, thus tracing a previously unrevealed chronicle of the city.

The exhibition Mapping the Archive in the window of the daadgalerie can be viewed daily from 12 – 9 pm from the outside.
