No Film Left Unscanned While scanning films to produce digital files demands skill, technology, and resources, it is more achievable than ever before. And many are still at risk.

I've just been alerted to a copy of #digitaldarkage for sale over on Discogs, it's always an odd feeling seeing your own releases being resold, but at least it might give someone new some joy, and probably a sense of impending digital doom...

'Degradation' is an audio-visual interactive installation I created using three rear projection screens and a custom 3.1 sound system, commissioned by Level Centre. It was a real joy to work on.

Ever wonder what secrets the digital dark age (~1988-2000) holds? So much data was lost to primitive tech and proprietary systems. Imagine the hidden treasures that would have been in the AOL, Prodigy, Geocities, early web, and CompuServe archives. #DigitalDarkAge #LostData

Facebook is officially deleted. While I’m happy to say🖕🏻to Zuck, it’s giving me a bit of an existential crisis to realize how much of my existence just lives on a “cloud” of some sort that can just disappear. #digitaldarkage

It's been interesting seeing the proliferation of the term #digitaldarkage over the last few years, being the inspiration for my degree dissertation and major project - a recent article from Wired here www.wired.com/story/the-ne...

Digital dark age The digital dark age is a lack of historical information in the digital age as a direct result of outdated file formats, software, or hardware that becomes corrupt, scarce, or inaccessible as technologies evolve and data decays. Future generations may find it difficult or impossible to retrieve electronic documents and multimedia, because they have been recorded in an obsolete and obscure file format, or on an obsolete physical medium; for example, floppy disks. The name derives from the term Dark Ages in the sense that there could be a relative lack of records in the digital age as documents are transferred to digital formats and original copies are lost. An early mention of the term was at a conference of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) in 1997. The term was also mentioned in 1998 at the Time and Bits conference, which was co-sponsored by the Long Now Foundation and the Getty Conservation Institute.
