<p>This
is a conversation by email between Rick Prelinger, Anna Ramos, Vicki
Bennett and Jon Leidecker, which took place on April 2011 in parallel to
the <i>Memorabilia. Collecting sounds with... </i>lecture series at the MACBA.</p><p><br><b>Rick Prelinger</b>
is an archivist, writer, filmmaker, and outsider librarian. Rick has
partnered with the Internet Archive (of which he is a board member) to
make 2,100 films available online for free viewing, downloading and
reuse. His archival feature <i>Panorama Ephemera</i> (2004) played in venues around the world. He's now working on a second feature tentatively entitled <i>No More Road Trips</i>. He has also recently made several film programs that he categorizes as "historical interventions," called <i>Lost Landscapes of San Francisco</i> (five annual parts) and <i>Lost Landscapes of Detroit</i>.
He frequently speaks on the future of archives and issues relating to
access to archives and culture. With Megan Prelinger, he's co-founder of
Prelinger Library, an appropriation-friendly private research library
open to the public in downtown San Francisco.</p>
