1. database

   database is an electronic reading device that deals with the inversed functionality of three electronic devices: a printer, a video camera and a database. Consequently, it raises issues about the erasure of text, the act of reading in real time (i.e., listening to a printed text), and physical databases. Through the opposition between presence x absence, recording x erasing, memory x forgetfulness, present x continuous time and reading x listening, we challenge the idea of the database as a non-linear and digital structure, and the printer as an output device as well as an information recorder. Critical for the connection of all these concepts is the idea of present time as a time that is always passing by.

2. The Eden Database

   If the codes that make up digital images are unique like the people in the images are unique, then we might imaginatively think of these codes as a form of digital DNA. The Eden Database contains 32 detail plus 32 derived index records of digital image code samples taken from descendants of Eve in the summer and fall of year 2002. The Eden Database features dynamic record retrieval and reporting functions -- auto, select, scroll, and random. Users will choose these and related sub-functions to generate system standard plus recombinant code samples custom reports.
