The self-documentation of artists in web publications is not yet archived in an adequate way. This is where our #ArtDocArchive project comes in.

For the prototype, the focus is on web pages and Instagram as the most common use cases currently. We focus on Berlin based artists.

This infographic shows the process.

Web pages are stored using web archiving tools (Art Doc Web) and then converted into structured data using customized parsers (Art Doc Parser).

Related to Instagram, the EU rights to personal data, are now allowing users to export their own archive in an open standard (e.g. JSON), which they can donate to the project. These exports will be processed and visualized in the project (Art Doc Visualization).
