ABSTRACT
This chapter presents case studies that demonstrate the author remix practice as a method for poetically expressing archival materials to bring forward voices and images that are often left unheard and unseen. Our selection of the fragments of interviews we would share in the park would have to be poetically situated—this way of thinking about the materials in the archive was one of the author conceptual contributions to the project. While practitioners in the digital humanities may be reacting to the maker, as a fine artist—who evolved before the maker movement began—both the maker and the Do-It-Yourself movement are irrelevant. Together we set to make our own archive for An Archive of Unnamed Women, an ongoing project started in 2018. That is, through remix, we shifted the way these kitchens “read” from neutral, non-scripted spaces that afford the scientists unbiased raw materials for language processing to gendered spaces where literature, journalism, and hashtags call for political action.
