In this lecture held at the Office for Contemporary Art Norway on 9 November 2007, Hito Steyerl sustains the thesis that the archive 'is no longer just the monolithic entity, which theorists like Jacques Derrida or Allan Sekula have described: a sort of paper fortress guarded by the combined forces of nation and capital. Within the contradictory dynamics of globalization and post-communism/-colonialism, archives fragment and multiply, they become porous and leak.'
