Render 2054 - Museo de Arqueología Digital
Estos fósiles de vídeo fueron encontrados el pasado año 3641 por un pastor en una cavidad natural de un macizo en Santillana del Mar, Cantabria. Allí aún se conservan los legados digitales y artísticos más importantes de la Neoprehistoria de la península.
La cueva donde se hallaron los restos digitales fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 3593, y se hizo una extensión de la nominación a otras 17 cuevas del País Vasco, Asturias y la propia Cantabria, pasándose a llamar el conjunto «Cueva Nikon-Cannon del norte de España».
La maleta de aluminio en cuestión contenía dos artefactos de nombre 'Nikon', de 35mm, y dos primitivas cámaras digitales: una 'Olympus T700' y 'Cannon G12', junto a cierto número de objetos sin identificar. Lamentablemente los negativos de 35mm no pudieron ser rescatados pues hacía tiempo que la frágil película fotosensible, de nitrato de plata, se había descascarado. En cambio sí pudieron salvarse dos tarjetas de memoria, aunque húmedas y maltrechas.
El arqueólogo a cargo del estudio de estos materiales cree que se trata de filmaciones caseras realizadas en el centro de la antigua ciudad de Madrid alrededor del año 2010.
(Nota: Esta pieza ficticia fue realizada por Claudio Molinari Dassatti como ejercicio del curso de Belén Gache 'Ciudades Legibles', Casa Encendida, Madrid, en junio del 2012.
El señor Molinari quiere dar las gracias al escritor holandés Stefan de Witt y a RZA por la utilización del corte 'Ghost Dog Theme').
