Constraint n°044
The Autopsied File
Open an old file or system file. Analyze its metadata like an archaeologist.
Take an old file (photo, document, video) and analyze its metadata: creation, modification, device, location. Reconstruct the file's history.
Instructions
- Find an old file on your computer (photo, document, audio, video).
- Use a tool to extract its metadata (ExifTool, MediaInfo, file properties).
- Note everything... creation date, modification dates, device, location, format.
- Write a detective archive of the file... what has it lived through?
- Share the metadata and your narrative on the site.
Variants
Do this with multiple files from the same period... reconstruct a day.
Find an old file from a deceased person. Tell their story.
