“The silver CDs are commercial discs with music, movies, audiobooks, porn, Jesus, Celine Dion. Everything. The green are CDRs, so they’re recordable. They contain whatever people valued enough to put on them, whether it’s a Grateful Dead concert or a mix.”
– American artist Tara Donovan, describing the 200,000+ CDs she used to build sculptures. Discussing her New York show, she frames the media format as “the last quantifiable object of data that exists. We moved from filing cabinets to clouds.”
