Paul Gerhardt, Strategic Director (Creative Archive) at the BBC, in conversation with Lina Dzuverovic of Electra. In the midst of Christian Marclay's Installation Pavillion for The Sounds Of Christmas, Paul Gerhardt discusses the significance of archives in the creation of new artistic content.

The TV and radio archives of the BBC and other broadcasters represent a huge untapped source of creativity. New developments in technology and in attitudes to rights could be the keys to tapping into that resource. The BBC is leading the way with a pilot initiative, the Creative Archive. If successful, it would help to transform the BBC's relationship with its audiences by moving beyond broadcasting to the sharing and co-creation of content.
