– Lossy compression. The art of forgetting. Every time you save a JPG, you lose a little more data. You trade perfection for portability. You accept the artifacts, the banding, the blur. Isn’t that just like memory?
That’s your AMS_CHERISH .
– The verb we are too afraid to use in real time. We cherish things after they crack. We cherish the voicemail from a person we can no longer call. To cherish is to admit fragility. It’s the opposite of a screenshot. A screenshot is quick, cold, archival. To cherish is to hold close, even when it burns. AMS CHERISH -64- Jpg
You name it AMS_CHERISH_64.jpg because you know that feeling won’t last past customs. – Lossy compression
I found myself staring at the filename today: You trade perfection for portability
Decoding the Glitch: On “AMS_CHERISH_-64-.jpg”
There are files we save. And then there are files that save us.
