Ellis, Phil2020-08-132020-08-132015-09-09https://mediarep.org/handle/doc/15085This article discusses the implications for archival and media archaeological research and reenactment artwork relating to a recent arts practice project: Reenacttv: 30 lines / 60 seconds. It proposes that archival material is unstable but has traces and fragments that are full of creative potential to re-think and re-examine past media historical events through a media archaeological approach to reenactment. The article contains images and links to videos from the final reenactment artworks as well as from rehearsals in Vienna and Bradford.engCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 GenericFernsehenreenactmentParticipationArchiveHistorytracemedia archaeology07079110.18146/2213-0969.2015.jethc08210.25969/mediarep/141202213-0969
