10 Megabytes of Memory

Over deze film

What is the meaning of "memory" in the digital age? For humans memory refers to subjective images of past events, for computers memory refers to an objective capacity to store information. The film compresses 10 human years in 10 megabytes of binary information and employs an aesthetics of the small file format, a counter strategy against the ever increasing resolution, bitrate and (environmental) costs of digital images. The film was edited entirely in the command-line with ffmpeg.
