photos of computer setups
I have started collecting photos of "8-bit" computer set ups. I think it is fascinating to see the places where all kinds of computer magic happens/happened. I am mostly interested in home settings - rooms from any time and any place. Demoscene relation is good but not necessary, hi-res photos are preferred (with credits), informative texts and and stories is excellent.
Possibly, this is something that would be published aswell.
With a collection like this it is possible to see what was behind all those screen, to contextualize digital works with a physical place. Postdigital, as the theorists say. We wanna see your data office!
Spread the word! If you are interested, or just have some links and input, please post here or e-mail info@goto80.com. Or bring them to LCP! :) Thanks! |

I'd love such a site!
...and I think I've got a few photos of my data setups throughout the years. It would be nice to collect all setups for a given person on one page, if you'll do a site... |

Will it be something similar to the (probably abandoned) CBM Gallery? |

i wasn't aware of this site, some good ones in there! my plan is to make something similar, but not only focusing on the computer itself. i think it is great to see all the things around the computer, in a private space. party-pics is not so relevant for this kind of mission.
share your rooms! |

Old setup (early 2006), before it got cluttered with collected hardware and before I sold some of the stuff in the rack.
Please note the Commodore monitor on the floor ;-)
I was busy doing design work for a study, so the desk had to be empty. Currently there's a C128 set up.

Looks organized & tidy, totally opposite to my old apartment in 2002.

Here are two incarnations of my setup in my previous apartment:
From 2007, an SX64, an Amiga 2000 and a PC.
Same corner, but in 2008. Now there is a breadbin C64 standing on top of an Amiga 500, and and some other PC (and myself contemplating some code):
I have a bunch of photos from earlier datacorners too, and I'll try to dig them out. |
