Abstract
This theoretical essay explores the connections between disability and temporality as they relate to technology, utilizing The Remote Access Archive as an illustrative case. The crowdfunded online archive is concerned with how disabled people use technology to create access. The Remote Access Archive highlights the imaginative ways that disabled people utilize and build relations through technology. These practices can be understood as more than simply technological, artistic, or archival interventions. They are practices that uncover possibilities to imagine and enact crip futurity. This paper builds upon the concepts of refusal (Campt, 2017) and crip futurity (Kafer, 2013) to examine how the archival endeavor of the Remote Access Archive is a means to collectively imagine disabled futures despite the ongoing foreclosure of futurity.
