"Digitally Thin: There’s a feeling of thinness that I believe many of us grapple with working digitally. [...] a folder with one item looks just like a folder with a billion items. Feels just like a folder with a billion items. And even then, when open, with most of our current interfaces, we see at best only a screenful of information, a handful of items at a time."

afterlives: access, reuse, misuse

  • continued access
  • restricted access
  • no access

"Archaeology"

...an excavation of a particular project in digitization, introducing for discussion the constitution of that project, how we might interpret the conditions in which its digitizations circulate, and how we might approach similar initiatives as sites of critical analysis. (4)
