On his Tumblr blog, Communication within Hybrid Environments, ZachMc commented on Archiving R69 and its interactive form:
“This film needs to be interactive in order to work. Why? Well…not only does it need to be interactive in order to distinguish between each medium in the archive, but the interactive experience also enables the user to feel as though they are ones who are searching through the archives and discovering the different documents for themselves.”
The Korsakow film Archiving R69 was finally launched at Visible Evidence 18 during the panel “Family Resemblances: Personal Archives” on August 12 2011, and the presentation, “Unfinished Films in the Multimedia Archive.”
Scott McKenzie reviewed Charles Gagnon: 4 Films in The Moving Image.
