As a ubiquitous medium for publishing  but also  storing and safeguarding data, CDs provide a means to project and divulge as well as a way to encrypt and hide. Discarded CDs are, in a sense, de-classified, in as far as their information is no longer of any value and has been made available.

Round shiny objects, which we usually treasure and protect, locked up in vaults or spinning in drives, are spread out across the ground, hang in the wind, exposed to the weather and probably walked on. Their shift from single objects to assemblage corresponds to an essential translation from one domain into another: from private to public, from medium to material, from one set of properties to another, from what a thing does to what it is. In this new context they register other information - the movements of people and skies, the boundaries of the field - and play it back translated, as iridescent lights and shimmering fragments. They become common ground, a public release.
