The Harddisk Random Image Trash Files is a series of auto generated images. The computer program 'netochka nezvanova' scanned my trash folders (material from different projects, stored but never used) and endlessly assembled new images out of the trash material. The final images from theThe Harddisk Random Image Trash Files series are screenshots from this process, blown up, printed on single A4 papers and put together again with transparent tape, which coers the hole surface.
