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! |

That first picture is Barendrecht, The Netherlands.
It later turned into this (probably November 2006), with curtains installed:
And here's another one, with a few discdrives, taken in June 2007:
And an old one in my former house, in Rotterdam (NL), taken in October 2005.

(Spot the SX-64 on that last one ;-) ) |

Some older setups - this millenium though :)
Note the 1802 being used for DVD and VHS as well (making me a legal nonpayer of GEZ, hehe)

Angel: Looks very good to me. :)
...but you forgot to say where and/or when these pictures came from, and in line with what mr Goto80 said before, it would be nice with a small comment on the setup itself. Why it looked like it did, or so.
...and that pool looked lame. I would surely have stayed inside instead. ;)
...and speaking of parents' houses. Here comes a picture of Goto80 as a kid, in his parents' house in Varberg, Sweden, including mr Goto80 himself:

Hehe.. That one was quite boring, to be honest. :)
I think (but I am not completely sure) that Goto80 is mainly looking for datacorners which include one or a few homecomputers and such (okay okay, there was the 1514 of course in this picture, but but...)
@Goto80: ...or what do you say? Maybe you are not as narrow-minded as me? ;) |

Yes, this just the reserve-computer. It is quite boring there.
I shall take a picture on the other computer too.
There I have the amplifier and speakers.
The speakers pointing directly to my head :)
Photo coming soon.
