Digital Projects & Emerging Tech Education

Every archive contains an endless array of stories.

As an advisory grounded in a desire to expand the public visibility of artistic research, Living Documents is committed to reimagining archives, museums, private collections, and gallery platforms as emergent ecosystems: always generative, accessible, legible, defying any singular point of view or narrative chronology, and perpetually offering new discoveries. 

We partner with technologists to build bespoke digital experiences that both honor the historical integrity and expand the contemporary relevance of our clients’ work and holdings. Whether providing digital strategy, project roadmaps, or emerging tech training, our approach is fundamentally collaborative, always driven by clients’ goals, values, and their materials themselves. 

Want an overview of the basics? For artists and institutions seeking to better understand how emerging tech will increasingly impact their work, we offer a host of services that illuminate the growing landscape of digital tools and what utility they offer.
