This text, if I am understanding it correctly, discuses about programs and softwares where data is organized into a complex knowledge system. The body, mind, and language is an archive of experiences, and that our history is a database where facts can be retrieved. Relationships between individuals data are now being stored and analyzed. I find this article is confusing and talks about multiple ideas at once. I am not sure about the relationship between archives, softwares and data as one.
Gerhard Richter's "Atlas" :
Without searching about his life or background education, I analyzed his work by making assumptions and using my imagination. His work is quite beautiful and well structured. He seems to be documenting older photographs maybe of his ancestors or just found ones. I like how they are shown in chronological order and the colours are kept the same, no photoshop seems to have been used on the photos. It is a different way of collecting data, it looks very similar to a scrapbook. Though they are photographs, the title of the data- Atlas- suggests that he may be collecting pictures of people around the world over the years.
