PROFIL (Sharing, Reconstituting, and Organizing Fictional Online Identities)
The project calls for the design of a system of constructing profiles from individual traces extracted from resources held in digitized or “natively” digital heritage collections. By applying techniques of fictional and non-fictional narration, profiles will be constructed with extracted data, documentary enrichments, and fictional extensions, according to modalities borrowed both from crowdsourcing and data-mining.
Such a project has a three-fold purpose:
- Revisiting the concept of the profile as digital identity industries have modeled it. Entirely anonymous, the profile will be envisioned not as an individual’s registered fingerprint, but as a transmedia ecosystem resulting from collective editorialization.
- Fostering social appropriation of the past by exploring the possibilities of re-documenting archival collections with an approach involving humanist scholars, archivists, librarians, authors, and amateurs.
- Experimenting with new models of collecting and constituting a corpus of information adapted to the granularity and mobility of the digital environment.
