Archivio 11

In this new issue of ARCHIVIO, Guest Editor Massimo Banzi and Deputy Editor Cecilia Botta present a curated exploration of the technology archives landscape, divided into three sections: “Stories”, “Institutions”, and “Collectors & Collectives”. The “Stories” section opens the magazine with an exploration of the foundational moments of the digital revolution, tracing cultural and technological trajectories that reshaped the way we live, while the “Institutions” section highlights museums, research centers, and foundations that preserve, study, and exhibit technological artifacts. Finally, “Collectors & Collectives” focuses on individuals and groups who have preserved key fragments of our technological heritage, safeguarding not only objects but also human stories, experiences, and visions. The Tech Issue also includes a special poster: an (in)complete mapping of the many young technology archives in Italy. A research by Promemoria visually processed by Accurat. The result is a map that is also a small work of art.
