Workshop ‘Data Cleansing Day’ is an activity for organizing and emptying data such as documents, photos, and videos stacked and replicated(backed-up) in the personal computer, external hard drive, or cloud storage.
Through this activity, we look back at the relationship between the vast amount of digital data we produce, save, replicate, and the physical digital infrastructures constructed to store what we make. The workshop aims not only to clean up our mind distracted by unorganized piled up files but also to get a clean emptied storage space. Furthermore, it is expected to contribute to producing much smaller data carbon footprints due to the reduced data storage.
• The workshop will run for 1 hour each for 2 days.
• Participants can apply for the desired round.
• The workshop will be held online, and attendees participate from their homes via the Zoom.
• An invitation link to enter the workshop will be sent to participants’ e-mail on the day of the workshop.
• After the workshop, participants will receive ‘the 1st Data Cleansing Day’ certificate from artist Mina.
