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!

Some photos of my current set ups:


This is up in my flat when the SX-64 is situated in between the pc and my wife's Mac. It is running Soundemons New Confusions.


The SX-64 being portable it can easily be hooked up anywhere in the apartment for some late night Antidote calling, like in front of the baby carriage.



The Data Dungeon in the humid basement where the gear is set up or kept (if it is not part of what I have in Skåne awaiting a proper house). I am looking for a second monitor in order to have two set ups running parallely.

I have photos from the data room of my youth (The Mega Swapper's Corner - and Calling Out Centre), and I will try to dig up those photos when I find the time. I should also have some photos of the Data Kitchen from when I lived in Umeå, and from the set ups in Möllevången (x2).

I could take a pic from my C64 center.... But I won't... I should have done it a couple of years ago, when it was MY room.... My son has taken over MY room, and surprisingly A LOT OF stuff has vanished to cardboard boxes... hmm... must be the wife, who is making goodies to disappear.... But don't worry, whenever the last C64 vanishes, I dig out a new one and put it back there.... So he'll always have a Commodore 64 to play with :)
