Editorial

Once more, an artistic method associated with the “digital turn” is at the focal point of this edition of our magazine, no. 91.
Certainly, “Exploring the Photographic Archive” and, with it, archiving as an artistic practice are not a present-day invention; since
the 1960s at the latest, artists like Gerhard Richter have been collecting, arranging and cataloging photographs of all kinds, from historical
newspaper cuttings through amateur snapshots to pornographic material. But as library and archive inventories are digitized and with the extremely extensive distribution of photographic images on the World Wide Web (and consequently a completely unprecedented flood of material that can potentially be used for art), it is just this systematic selection, registration and arrangement that has achieved a new relevance. The sheer plethora of pictures also leads creative artists more and more often to exchange the process of production for that of selection and appropriation and, consequently, to work conceptually to an increasing extent.
A systematic methodology also underlies the section prepared by the curators of this edition, Christina Natlacen and Renate Wöhrer:
terms from the field of the given focus are consistently presented, sloganed and described within an index-card framework, every “topic”
is followed by information on sources and the authors can be identified through their initials—as would also be the case in a card index. The aim
was not, however, to create a list as extensive and complete as possible. Unlike other indexes, these “fragments of an index” admit to their
incompleteness and to the individual research areas and preferences of their creators.

We wish you, therefore, interesting insights,
Your EIKON Team with
Nela Eggenberger
