DEL?No, Wait!REW@TENT
Description DEL?No, wait!REW asks is it possible to delete information in the digital age? Whether our storage devices are locally present (hard drives) or dislocated (the cloud), can we ever be certain our data has been permanently deleted? In the ongoing conversation around the impossibility of erasing digital traces, what role do we take? Are we plunderers, interpreters or mediators?
Installation:
The installation is displayed in a dark space. A stream of light is cast by the screens and a light table. At the center of the space cold steel controller is placed, a reminiscent of industrial machine. The controller has two buttons: Delete and Save@; delete enables the option to remove permanently a file from the system; save@ allows to upload this file online. Once the save option is chosen a file gets published online. You can visit the domain of the saved files on >http://delnowaitrew.com
