Bas van der Burgh invites you to send a data-message in a bottle

"The concept is to give people the ability to send data through a bottled time capsule. The website allows the sender to follow his roving data, whereby the receiver can respond to the found message , says Bas van der Burgh on his  innovative yet nostalgic project. "The question is, how much do you value your own data in the age of cloud-computing, where every moment of your life is being stored and owned by large corporations? Which story do you want to keep or tell if datacenters go down?In search for these questions I give big data users the opportunity to romanticize their online storage with a old-fashioned way of communication," the 26 year old graphic designer from Rotterdam adds.

"If you have your own bottle ready you just have to find the nearest spot to release your message. Use a ocean currents map to find out when it is ep, this way your bottle will flow towards the ocean. In case you have installed a GPS tracker you can make use of our tracking map to make sure your bottle is still a roving story."
