DATA DUMP Year 2022 Concept, Design, Animation, Prototyping, Production The project „Data Dump“ addresses the resource consumption of digital data waste. Due to seemingly infinite space in cloud storage and for convenience, data is kept. In a speculative approach, it is proposed to translate deleted data to a physical landfill. In the process, an artificial intelligence is to select which data is deleted and which is not. Deleted data is manifested in a dynamic, physical data visualization based on various parameters. This interface between the digital and the physical world is intended to make a haptic perception of data tangible and enable emotional access. The metaphor to analog garbage recurs to the social construction of the valuable and opens a new discourse on our overall social awareness of resource-using data storage. As part of the annual DHBW Mediadesign „Werkschau“ in September 2022, Data Dump was presented in the Kunstmuseum Ravensburg (Art Museum of Ravensburg). In the context of the media design studies at the Duale Hochschule Baden- Württemberg Ravensburg. Mentoring lecturers: Prof. Dr. Klaus Birk Betty Schimmelpfennig Shoko Hara Paul Brenner
