Get matched →The XIII Meeting of Contemporary Art Documentation Centers will take place at Artium Museoa on November 5 and 6, 2026. In a context marked by digitalization, process automation, and the increasing incorporation of artificial intelligence systems, archives, libraries, and documentation centers are undergoing deep transformations that affect how documentary heritage is conserved, researched, interpreted, and circulated. These changes modify not only technical infrastructures and management processes but also the ways of generating knowledge, building memory, and ensuring public access to heritage. These meetings place the activation of documentary heritage at the center of professional and academic debate.
Understood as a process that transcends preservation and access, activation implies generating new forms of research, interpretation, and mediation, favoring the creation of narratives, the critical reuse of documentary collections, and the establishment of connections between archives, institutions, researchers, and citizens. These meetings also pay special attention to the challenges posed by the current digital ecosystem, addressing the tensions between technological innovation and fundamental rights, automation and cultural diversity, efficiency and sustainability, preservation and access, as well as the ethical, legal, political, and eco-social implications derived from the use of artificial intelligence in the field of documentary heritage.
