Technology influences collective forms of memory. In the era
of social media, what form do cultural memory practices take today?
This paper examines popular metadata practices and their impact on collective memory. How does social media contribute to the writing - and erasure - of history? how do the algorithms of social computing replicate historical power dynamics found in the archive?
Presented for the workshop series:
Interrogating the Archive, Visual Arts Department, UCSD.

Interrogating the Archive is a collaborative research project of humanities researchers and scholars at the University of California, San Diego, which identifies, examines, and addresses the challenges of the archive.
This project endeavors to critically rethink archival practices, exploring the archive not as a passive collection of documents, but as an active and ongoing performance in the construction of historical narratives.
