🗑️ Dump Site July 20th, 1-3PM Viv Qiu, Dorothy Tang, Robin O RSVP in bio Dump Site is a public repository of files pulled from trash folders and the recently deleted. We invite you to join us for Dump Site’s first trash drop-off day and group keyword tagging session in Los Angeles. 👥 The stewards of Dump Site will offer a presentation to introduce the project, and invite you to bring your computer to dig through and discuss your own digital trash afterwards. Exploring memory through the lens of discard, this virtual landfill points a sentimental gaze towards desktop debris. Participants will hear about the points of research and core questions that shaped the project. How does collecting trash celebrate the role of mess and fiction in archival practice? What is the archaeological significance of digital trash? 💻 Bring a laptop and a charger. 🔌 Several computers will be made available on site. ♻️ Don’t empty your trash until then!
