Only what has already passed, can be recalled; only what has already been forgotten can be remembered. Yet, as the present expands endlessly and drowns the perception of temporality in a constant flow of images and information, how can we determine what will have had to be known for the future? Submerged, as we are, in this perpetual now, how can we recollect the past or imagine possible futures beyond the confines of our present time? Isolated in algorithmic filter bubbles and echo chambers, how can we share remembrances and foster a sense of community?After Memory reflects on how memory is affected by endless social media feeds, clouded storage spaces, automated data storage, and networked communication technologies. This bears both challenges and chances, as practices of remembering and forgetting are reconfigured and their competences are transferred from institutional actors to civic initiatives and individuals. In turn, the role of museums and archives is redefined, too, whose collections no longer preside over a sovereign narration of the past, but constitute shared repositories for the future.The project AFTER MEMORY begins with a symposium that brings together key figures from the fields of art, science, technology, museology, and activism. It aims to initiate an open process of experimentation and imagination and to form a sustainable network for exchanging and developing ideas in collaborative ways. The programme unfolds along three lines of enquiry that consider the spatial, temporal, and social dimensions of digital memory.The project AFTER MEMORY begins with a symposium that brings together key figures from the fields of art, science, technology, museology, and activism.
