Archive Lucida
digital catalog and journal of time-based media
Archive Lucida is a digital archive and journal of time-based media, dedicated to the curation, preservation, and publication of the underrepresented arts. Founded in 2024 with the intent to establish a democratizing platform for curated film collections, Archive Lucida is dedicated to digital humanities research, review, and critique, free from the bounds of traditional institutional exclusivities. Largely inspired by the scholarship of Roland Barthes and Walter Benjamin, Archive Lucida is devoted to eclectic discussion of the cinematic medium and its many forms. We are interested in global cinema, early surrealism, film history, and archival practice. Above all, as a freeform, digital archive, we aim to make underrepresented art, time-based media, and academic materials decentralized and publicly accessible.
