ARA is presented through interactive, participatory, and performative workshops, entitled Memex Room. Memex Room is a workshop where workshop attendees’ annotations and performative multi-lingual reading/spoken words crash, merge, and congregate within/around the interactive website. Attendees are invited to become active annotators who move through the translatability and untranslatability of the performative reading and undulating soundscapes collected from different regions of the world. The web is currently only accessible to workshop attendees of the Memex Room. Memex Room is a workshop in which your annotations and performative multi-lingual reading/spoken words crash, merge, and congregate within/around the interactive website. The performative spoken & sonic component is made from a text PREDATOR by Günen. At Memex Room, you become active annotators.
