The workshop "Sort / Thinking / Give 'aims to examine the relationship between collections and knowledge.
By insisting on the materiality of the abstraction, the project questions the relationship between storage and classification, ie the material and intellectual dimensions of all collections. This will include the writing of objects and texts for knowledge who think with and through collections. In other words, knowledge is produced by a logical and physical document management.
The working assumption made collections support structure and to determine where knowledge is constructed. For the example of the "methodical order" of the naturalistic model collections in the eighteenth century, the order material things tends to correspond to the intellectual classifications. How to Order
cumulative wealth of materials? By what means the discrepancy between the ideality of classification and the materiality of the storage is reduced? These questions underpin the heart of this interdisciplinary work. In these circumstances, the information management mediates the signs to the things themselves: the library catalog locates the book, the catalog firm refers to the collection object, the file sorts the objects and texts. These tools allow sorting of objects taken to the objects themselves. But more importantly, these administrative practices collections at the heart of archives, libraries, museums are spread across the state as managing humans. Through the catalog files and other non-humans are humans management.
