Forgotten Heritage
Forgotten HeritageWeb-based visual database of artists and artworks, 2018
Forgotten Heritage is a visual database of artists and artworks of the European avant-garde. Several art archives across Europe have brought together about 8,000 entries and made them tangible in their context. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of avant-garde artists from Poland, Estonia, Croatia, France and Belgium, who were active in the second half of the 20th century. The sophisticated design opens up a fascinating network of works, artists and places of action.
The project is the recent implementation of The Visual Archive, a technology developed by Plural, which facilitates the display of digital collections and datasets.
Using web technologies like React.js, d3.js and pixie.js, the application lets people interact with archival data in new ways and make hidden connections graspable. For the curation of the content, the sophisticated Visual Archive Backend system makes it easy for both professional and less tech-savvy users to edit large amounts of data.
In Collaboration with Marika Kuźmicz of Fundacja Arton and Kilian Krug.
