Tracing the Horizon: iLANDing as Radical Archive Practice and Pedagogy

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to highlight an example of how a group of artists/educators/researchers involved in the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art, Nature and Dance (iLAND), conceptualize their practice as both users and producers of archives. We pose the following questions within the process of conceptualizing the iLAND archive: What is the radical pedagogy inherent in iLANDing? Moreover, how does the archiving of iLAND, a transdisciplinary practice of intervening into the city/land/body-scape, translate as radical archiving?
