Corinna Berndt: jpg Fossils

jpg Fossils is a science-fiction inspired video installation by Corinna Berndt. The artwork poetically connects fragments from her digital archive.

This artwork is part of an ongoing project. In this version, Berndt explores personal attachment to saved files and photos. Through the work she considers how storing our digital files can harm the environment over time.

The exhibition envisions the digital realm as a kind of external collective memory. It reminds us that growing digital systems need natural resources to keep running. jpg Fossils re-imagines these systems for storing our personal data in the future.
