Claire Dubosc based this movie on over than 200 videos stored on the web by current users (mostly from Youtube and Vimeo). For her graduation project she shows a computer that displays a day in the life of the common man in the early years of the 21st century seen through internet video data, using a basic chronological keyword research: ”Moonset,” “Sunrise,” “Waking,” “Breakfast,” etc.
As we record the littlest details of our lives on the web, it tends to become an incredible testimony for the future and human memory now depends on computer’s hard drives. But what if the system suddenly crashed? What if all of it crashed in an instant?
Will our history and memories be deleted just like that?
