archivingthepastforthefuture

 

a busy week of clearing away CDs, floppy discs, zip drives, mini discs and tapes that formed the ‘archive of my work’. These have been stored over the last 20ish years and have just been cluttering up shelves in my studio so it was time to copy what was wanted/needed onto hard drives. It was interesting to see work on hardware and software that no longer exists – thinking about archivists and the digital issues they will have in the future. It was fascinating to review the exhibition I had at Focal Point – early digital books created in a program called RayDream, luckily, I had TIFFs saved so here they are. Meanwhile to the screen - I care a lot. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9893250/ Wonderfully dark characters within a superbly twisted plot. Still deep into living the lives of the characters in insecure – now onto the second series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5024912/
