We are always on the lookout for new archival forms for film and media here and Sally Potter's website points us to the online archive SP-ARK, which promises to be one that will be helpful in helping us rethink not only what an archive looks like, but how it might operate and connect scholars and practitioners in knowledge and conversation.
SP-ARK brings together production materials from Potter's film, Orlando, in an online environment that includes components of networked world -- tags, discussion forums, user contacts and messaging. Check out the video on this innovative effort by Sally Potter and Adventure films. The archive is still in its beta testing phase so those interested in touring and working with the site in full functionality should contact beta@sp-ark.org with some info about yourself and your interest in the topic.
This is an area of the feminism 3.0 blog where you can find info regarding critical and creative work in feminist media art, theory, and history. We have a special interest in new forms of archives but the question of feminist research in media arts serves as our larger umbrella.
