Critical Digital Archive Collaboration
Dear all,

As I am doing research on theories and praxes of critical digital archiving as my doctoral dissertation, I would like to request you to participate in the following user-experience survey with the prototype of a critical digital archive I am building right now with my street photography of Kathmandu I had done in 2017. You can find the prototype of my critical digital archive at http://cassacda.com/. Before starting this survey, please visit and read through the landing page of my digital archive.

Your feedback will lead me to another step of making further decisions regarding design, digitalism, and digital archives, the selection of photographs, the nature of metadata, and theorization of it all. And as this kind of project, especially when the goal is to attempt at post/de/anticolonizing and depatriarchalizing language, resources, knowledge, information, technology, design, digitalism, and digital archives, it demands non-hierarchical interdisciplinary collaborations and dialogues. I am hoping to make this user-experience survey an initiation of that humble and open-ended dialogues and collaborations.
 
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Bibhushana Poudyal
