UNRAVEL THE INFRA-ORDINARY of the 21st century
The focus of this project lies in the saving and the storage of photographs and data. The relation between material and immaterial – about the digital and the real space that digital photos take up.
Where do we save this mass of data?
Do we ever look at it again or does it rest on some kind of "data-cementery“?
Are we questioning the action of takig a picture or do we just take to "have“ it?
Is there a need for materialized pictures (hype of polaroid pics)?
How do we deal with these images? How do we sort/ archive these pictures?
What does a digital picture storage look like?
What if a storage like an external hard disk drive breaks down?
NOTES
the way in which data is created and stored formed the base of our research. photography is a common interest to both of us. thus we focussed on the use of photography in the digital age.
