»Zuse Strip« is named after Konrad Zuses first digital computer. It used discarded 35mm movie film from the German UFA as a medium to read and write eight-bit binary code data with a punch hole system. The cinematic image is transformed into a three-dimensional landscape utilising data that is based on an archaeological misinterpretation.
