The conversation The Archive as an Operational Strati-Graph explores the archive as a living system — a dynamic and layered structure where data, images, and knowledge sediment and re-emerge through processes of observation, documentation, and translation. Through the dialogue between Giulia Bruno and Armin Linke, the text investigates how archives operate as tools of knowledge production and as infrastructures that shape our understanding of the environment, technology, and society. The “operational strati-graph” becomes a conceptual framework to think about how visual and informational strata interact, overlap, and transform over time. The conversation was published in Holotipus, a journal dedicated to interdisciplinary reflections on archives, documentation, and visual culture.
