The PIA project connects the world of data and things in an interdisciplinary manner. We explore the phases of the analogue and digital archive from the perspectives of cultural anthropology, technology and design. By exploring participatory knowledge practices in image archives in an interdisciplinary way, we engage with processes of unfamiliar disciplines and strive for a cooperative implementation thereof. For this purpose, we develop digital tools that support contextualising, linking and contrasting images. We are dedicated to the collaboration of the scientific community and the wider public, facilitating the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, and encouraging users to engage collaboratively with their own history and contemporary practices. In a series of workshops and interviews with future users, the new requirements of digital and process-oriented knowledge production will be elaborated.
