Description
This project I am collecting discarded hard drives and retrieving data traces out of them in order to examine abandoned data and leftover traces. A collection of ten hard drives was purchased as a commodity on Marktplaats. The hard drive rather obsolete object serve as an ultimate storage of data, container of past and present, which could be also invade, investigate and dissected.
The traces of information are exponential they contain various sources of ..they travel, scattered being trade or serve as a found footage for artistic intervention.
The material I found is rich source of various items - personal ( family photos, personal amateur videos - dating from late 70s - 80s) highly impersonal documentation shots from journey in Ghana, generative graphics, images of maps, web graphs, sites etc. I see myself as a collector of these found items.
Meta data missing
In this case there is no actual meta data...only evidences of time and space, found in the real footage or rather assigned from the quality of the footage itself. In this concept the tag is missing. This observation could add an extra layer of the unknown time and space of when and where they took place.
How I can feed it back into the system of trace?
This experiment is trigger by the idea of how the data trace is permanent, could not be not destroyed it has been encapsulated within a time, the code and the medium itself.
I am interested in the ethical aspect or who has the right to retrieve someone's data?
On contrary why to be ethical, while the question of ethics blurs the bounder of re-appropriations, remixes and data meshes? In this sense I am not looking for treasure but instead looking for rubbish which can serve as a raw material for further investigation. How the act of disclosure is already a critic?In my research I am looking at the general themes of digital waste, e-waste... data erasure – the physically destruction of data as the ultimate mode of complete erase.
[ I will try to remix, recombine and sample these found leftover in poetic order by reconstructing or deconstructing what it remains to be lost.]

Michael comments_tutorial 19.11.2013:
Think about the grey zone nothing has been done in this field. It might lead to interesting research.
Show the degradation of the object the hard drive itself. You can constantly examine the hard drives.
In case of you want to publish it /make it available online you can look at the notion of permissions or assigned different permission to use the data.
For example a common practice in archives is to have a flag of content. For instance the red color, permission denied ( or the user has not give permission to use his/her data)
yellow- somewhere in between --->
green - you have a green card to use the data . What that usage will consist of ?
content of a loose narrative // or the choice how you can show the data by not showing it completely.
ex:
