  Audiovisual archives are the mnemonic archives of the 21st century, with
important cultural institutions increasingly digitizing their video
collections. However, these remain mostly inaccessible, due to the sheer amount
of content combined with the lack of innovative forms of engagement through
compelling frameworks for their exploration. The present research therefore
aims at redefining access to large video collections through embodied
experiences in immersive environments. The author claims that, once users are
empowered to be actors of the experience rather than mere spectators, their
creativity is stimulated and narrative can emerge.
