"1.8s" (2014) by Flo Kaufmann is a series of discs, engraved in porcelain. The title refers to the time required for a 33 rpm vinyl record to rotate on the turntable. Flo Kaufmann created a medium, a new and durable support, that plays with a long-term access to information on analog and digital media, commercial and professional, which are found in archives, flea markets and garbage cans. But these discs, shown static or in motion, can presently not be read on any device. Maybe someone will invent one in order to be able to read these discs. "1.8s" is also a wink to the golden records that were send into space with the Voyager, on which a series of sounds that represents Earth were recorded.
