The [Err] Booklet is a visual assemblage of found images from the mentioned hard drives, Internet materials related to the research topic and photographs I took during the process of writing the thesis. This booklet aims to trace back the process of data recovery, display and potentially erase lost and found artifacts of data. It is also a work log of personal thoughts, observations, concerns and frustrations, which surpasses the actual process. It archives and provides a visual essay, contextualizing the field of research. While designing the book I decided to unify all the images in blue color - a common color found in the recovery process often present as a corrupted data. Interestingly blue is often associated with the notion of the “digital”. “Blue is literally the coolest color in the color spectrum (with a temperature of 15,000 to 27,000 Kelvin), with further suggestions of cultural coolness and cleanness of the digital” as cited by Florian Cramer** in a recent publication called “What is ‘Post-digital’?”.
