Digitization

Kasper Curran Vestergaard - Assignment 4

Curating Data - November 2020

Curatorial statement

“My three assignments all touch upon an area which can be boiled down to one word; digitization. During this course we have been working with the understanding of digitization and one of the things I take with me from this is something we read in Hui’s text: “The Genesis of Digital Objects”. Hui believes that “[…] everything can virtually be represented in digital formats.” (Hui, 2016, p. 50). Inspired by this I have been working with different angles and perspectives on digitization.“
