Explores the multiple and complicated ways in which our lives and ways of thinking are impacted by what things we decide to keep and how we organize access to them, i.e., storage, defining media as technologies that help organize information. Uses readings, podcasts, short films, and TV shows to examine storage to understand the emergence of the cloud and other contemporary media “containers.” Considers what the future of storage holds as individuals and institutions try to find space and time to store and retrieve our data, memories, clothes, food, and more.
