Narrating the archive and archiving narrative: The electronic book and the logic of the index
Index of love (Website http://www.indexoflove.net/ and supporting refereed article)
The hypermedia work indexoflove was exhibited in Fireside Tales and Poolside Memoirs at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery in 2010. It explores the aesthetic of the archive as a structuring form for narrative, inviting the viewer to create a history from a database of fragmented information, which represents the remains of a love affair. Drawing on an earlier version of this work, the narrative possibilities of the digital archive were also explored in ‘Narrating the archive and archiving narrative: the electronic book and the logic of the index’. International Journal of the Book, 5 (3). pp. 45-56.
