ATHENS. Athensreport.org is a digital archive project, initiated by the artist Anna Lascari. The Athens Report platform maps urban space using the route of a trolley bus to classify videos, interviews and street art concerning the riots and protests that took place in Athens from 2008 to 2015.
The archive, placed on an interactive tour on a trolley bus line, is continuously updated from visitors who upload their own material. Athens Report instigates from the particularity of the personal inscription to create space for the common and the shared experience.
Why this is important:
As a common ground, constantly rearranged through the visitors’ gestures and sharing, Athens Report can be considered not only as a digital imprint of public collective actions from public space into the virtual world, but also as an online platform imbued by the processes of the commons. The platform functions as a common digital space, constructed bottom-up through the contribution of individuals and collectives that held an active role in reclaiming the public space through collective action. Athens Report includes a rich archive and has already built a network of people with whom it shares knowledge, experience and memory. Processes as such tend to grow continuously, leading to unexpected creative paths.
