Wolfgang Ernst is professor of media theory at the Institute of Musicology
and Media Studies at Humboldt University, Berlin, and an expert in archival
science. He is one of the pioneering scholars of media archeology, a branch
of inquiry that he defines as “an archeology of the technological
conditions of the sayable and thinkable in culture, an excavation of
evidence of how techniques direct human or non-human utterances".

His numerous books and articles include the recently published Digital
Memory and the Archive, a collection of essays which uncovers the role of
specific technologies and mechanisms in shaping contemporary culture and
society. Ernst analyses archiving practice today, in a world that, he
argues, has gone from an old-European culture that privileges storage
towards a media-culture of constant transfer.

Wolfgang Ernst talks about the possibility of going beyond the concept of
the archive by exploring some of the practices around what is now being
called the 'anarchive'.
