Claude Shannon was the father of modern data compression. His legacy is one of sending, saving and retrieving; reminding us that all things which survive this process are of the utmost importance. To him, information was a series of signals, marginalized in their presence and lamented in their absence, being the values which carry what we know away from us, in the hopes that it will, one day, return unscathed. Through these documents, we are left to excavate Shannon’s compressed allusions: emotive schematics, a multitude of voices, and a quiet love story.
