Autonomous Operation

Digital Salvage explores the use of digital archiving, artificial intelligence, data organization, publishing systems, and content preservation technologies to support heritage and community storytelling. The project serves as a practical learning environment where participants develop skills in digital literacy, research, content management, automation, archival practices, and emerging technologies while creating lasting public value.

Acknowledgements

This project was an activity piloted with strategic arts innovation funding from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse in 2022. We thank them for their support.

Experimental Futures

Digital Salvage explores the long-term relationship between technology, creativity, memory, and knowledge. The project examines what happens when information systems continue to evolve beyond their original creators, creating new opportunities for autonomous research, publishing, cultural preservation, and digital stewardship.
