Abstract: The concepts of text archive and memory have been profoundly transformed due to the technological changes that have taken place in the contemporary world. The development of the digital world has generated transformations that question artistic praxis in its entirety, from the very practice of artistic creation to the development of traditional theoretical frameworks. The archive had been conceived as a delimited repository of information, one that today—thanks to new technologies—is capable of generating creative and reflective processes, becoming an active and, according to some theorists, living device. This work seeks to analyze the convergence that currently exists between art, technology, and philosophy, which redefines text and memory as a constant flow in a permanent process of transformation and construction; in this sense, the archive becomes a creative tool. Furthermore, it proposes an understanding of methodologies grounded in research and creation processes, which value the operativity of traditional documentary accumulation. All this compels reflection on the conflicts between the ephemeral and the permanent, definitions of authorship and their ethical challenges, and everything that accompanies reflection on emerging technologies such as AI, blockchain, and other immersive environments.
