There’s more to it than shows in this early prototype video.<\/p>\n
Kim says:<\/p>\n
I have fond memories of the cabinets and surfaces covered in trinkets, curios and ornaments in my grandparents’ house as a child. These objects seem out of place and time: from the exceedingly naff to the hopelessly ornate, it can be hard to understand other peoples’ attachments to sentimental items.<\/p>\n
What will we be wishing to store for posterity when we’re old? Many fond moments on the internet are sharing gifs with friends — as trivial as it seems these are things we now often reference in conversation or make an special effort to send to a friend. It’s also likely we will be awash in cheap computer parts from a few more decades of disposable-by-design computing.<\/p>\n
We’re creating a cabinet of curiosity of these Jolly Interesting Files (JIFs) for people to contribute to. We’re looking for donations of older smartphones to help make this a reality. And please, send your favourite dog gif to jollyinterestingfiles [@] gmail [dot] com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
