The Daily Bread

Printed digital archive of one day in my online life. This publication follows one day in my online life, and gathers all the information available to me, as well as those I selectively seek and look for. The motivation behind this rose up as a need to archive the immense amount of information a person is offered through the internet “collective memory” all the time; and it is impossible to read, digest and remember all. Are we losing something by not noticing everything? This newspaper is then an archive, of all the data available to me from 1st of April 2016, put together in one so that the reader can slow down, read and perhaps perceive the content in a different way than from the screen, and think about this subject. An interesting thought: “ Let’s talk about you. Who are you? Long term memory is what makes you YOU. “You” is what your brain keeps, what it doesn’t, and the processes by which that occurs. Your brain is utterly different from your parents’ brain. But the more you offload your memories onto hard drives and into the Cloud, the more your memory becomes, in a very real sense, artificial.” (The Age of Earthquakes, by Basar/Coupland/Obrist)
