diff in june
For the entire month of June, the artist attempted to track every single change to the data on his hard disk on a daily basis. Using a small custom script, each chunk of data which has changed within the filesystem from the previous day's image, is written to a new file. Thirty files represent thirty days of data sedimentation, an archaeology in progress tracking the overt and the covert, merging the legal and illegal (file-sharing), personal and administrative. diff in june is presented as 30 audio files and 30 video files rendering the raw data, alongside the printout of a single day's data changes (approximately 20,000 pages).
diff in june is part of the data sedimentation project.
diff in june is available as a limited edition (1 of 10) USB stick with all data logs and audio rendering.
