Apologies for cross-posting! Hi there,
Floppy Totaal: Double Density <http://varia.zone/en/floppy-totaal-DD.html> is just around the corner and we couldn't be more excited. On Saturday, the 19th of October Floppy Totaal <http://www.floppytotaal.org/> will present a special double program at Varia <https://varia.zone/en/> (Gouwstraat 3, 3082BA Rotterdam), packed to the brim with contemporary floppy culture of all sorts and shapes. Starting at 14:00, there will be a free live recording and publishing workshop by Floppy Kick Records <http://floppykickrecords.blogspot.com/>. The subsequent evening program, which has an entry fee of 5 euro's, comprises performances by Kisszántó <https://kisszanto.bandcamp.com/> and Eoforwine <https://eoforwine.bandcamp.com/>, presentations and conversations with Joak <https://joak.nospace.at/> and Jason Scott <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Scott> and a long distance video contribution by Michael Ridge <https://michaelridge.wordpress.com/>. The emphasis of this evening lies on the concept of the floppy disk as comfort food in a "future/present shocked" digital age. In what way does working with floppy disks help us cope in a time preoccupied with "new" media and planned obsolescence? Does the floppy disk hold more content than just 1,44 MB of data? Join us to find out! With love, Floppy Totaal https://varia.zone
