Apologies for cross-posting!

Hi there,

Floppy Totaal: Double Density <http://varia.zone/en/floppy-totaal-DD.html> is
just around the corner and we couldn't be more excited. On Saturday, the
19th of October Floppy Totaal <http://www.floppytotaal.org/> will present a
special double program at Varia <https://varia.zone/en/> (Gouwstraat 3,
3082BA Rotterdam), packed to the brim with contemporary floppy culture of
all sorts and shapes.

Starting at 14:00, there will be a free live recording and publishing
workshop by Floppy Kick Records <http://floppykickrecords.blogspot.com/>. The
subsequent evening program, which has an entry fee of 5 euro's, comprises
performances by Kisszántó <https://kisszanto.bandcamp.com/> and Eoforwine
<https://eoforwine.bandcamp.com/>, presentations and conversations with Joak
<https://joak.nospace.at/> and Jason Scott
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Scott> and a long distance video
contribution by Michael Ridge <https://michaelridge.wordpress.com/>.

The emphasis of this evening lies on the concept of the floppy disk as
comfort food in a "future/present shocked" digital age. In what way does
working with floppy disks help us cope in a time preoccupied with "new"
media and planned obsolescence? Does the floppy disk hold more content than
just 1,44 MB of data? Join us to find out!

With love,

Floppy Totaal
