"Digital Debris"

Section MS14, Jermaine Francis

Keywords: sound music, abstraction

The digital age is commonly considered to be immaterial, digital technologies still have a physical component.

This considers how digital debris can become something productive. I will transpose the background data of digital technologies: personal data stored by technology conglomerates into sound.In my selection of data and the choice of parameters to produce sound, the process will also be a surgical, mechanical transposition. This selection of personal data will be printed physically, to make what is usually saved on digital servers tangible.
