it is amazing to imagine this scenario of archiving new media onto older + older forms to reach .bak into the past in order to grasp greater + greater degrees of material stability for immaterial digital [works/projects/processes]. i love how this possibility complicates technopositivist conceptions of unlimited [progress/upward spirals] toward utopic states.
