Analog In, Digital Out - Brendan Davies


Key quotes; 

"How can you have a beautiful ending without making beautiful mistakes?"

"A world without undo"

"I think it would be nice to find a balance between constant start-from-zero cleanliness and natural evolution born out of risks and errors."

"Evidence of use" - "Lack of evidence that a digital artefact has been touched"

"A ten year old file icon looks exactly the same as it did when it was created."

"what are we losing in this super clean, time irrelevent medium? do people want to see evidence of use?"

"The page has a story impregnated into it, a narrative that has been permanently stuck to it."

"I love all the cool things that digital media has give  us; i'm just saying that these tea stains, bent corners, and smudges from the physical world are really important to us - the help mark who we are as human beings, and they tell a story."

"Those accidents, those little scratches, those moments in time are some of the things that separate us from the machines."

Reflection

I have highlighted some quotes that offer an insight into some attitudes surrounding digital artwork that will definitely benefit my essay. It is clear that there is a negative attitude towards it because of it's lack of tactility, relating to attitudes displayed in Made You Look film.
