How Technology Cares

This article explores the relationship between care, digital preservation and technology using a variety of storytelling methods. It moves between personal narratives, case studies, theoretical frameworks and technical explanations, to demonstrate that care is a continuous and attentive practice in digital preservation. By blending technical details with sensory experiences, it highlights the active relationship between technology and care. This unconventional approach challenges the traditional divide between humans and technology in preservation, suggesting that technology can also be a form of care. As such, the structure of the text reflects its main argument: digital preservation is not a static task but a collective, sustained and socio-technical practice involving both human and non-human actors in a dynamic network of care.
