Pixel Art: Caves

Memory Box is a look back into my past, through the traces of digital artifacts left behind on the series of personal computers I've used beginning in childhood. Recovering these artifacts is an emotional task for me. The Mac Plus that has been packed and sitting in my parent's basement since 1996, when the screen went dead. The hard drive still contains my programming experiments, and for the past decade I've always had a mind to try to have it recovered. But I've procrastinated, knowing that the data might not be recoverable. It was easier just to let it sit in an unknown state, rather than confirm that it was gone forever. It would be like losing a piece of myself. Finally I brought myself to have the drive recovered. See full video story here: https://www.ensemble.art/story/memory-box
