Description (eng)
The short film ARCHIVE was produced by students of the University of Vienna, in collaboration with the Technical Museum. It deals with the processes that go on behind the scenes of the Technical Museum of Vienna, especially the storage of the objects that are not currently exhibited. The film also gives insight into what happens to new objects after they arrive and the evaluation process. It includes excerpts of interviews with museum staff.
ARCHIVE (2022) was made by Ella Coogan, Emily Kate Genatowski, Gisela Tiefenbrunner, in collaboration with Sophie Gerber during the Ma course "Visual Ethnographies of Science", taught at the Department of Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the Department of Cultural and Social Anthropology (KSA) of the University of Vienna. The course was taught by Sarah Davies and Sanderien Verstappen, with tutoring of Viktoria Paar.
