How Long ’til We’re Forgotten (2007)

A commentary on the fleeting nature of digital signals and the power of reinterpretation.

Description:

Short audio pieces were uploaded, shared to various forums, and monitored for reposting and repurposing. All data relating to this project was deleted after 3 months, leaving the repurposed works the only traces of the original.

Hardware:

  • Dell 600m (Tank) running Windows XP Professional
  • Computer (Mad Dan) running SuSe Linux

Software:

  • Cakewalk Sonar for recording
  • Myspace for hosting
  • Custom script for monitoring and finding instances of reuse

Notes:

Easily my most awkward reading title.
