- rob-olmos 6y agoI don't think so. Project Silica talks about storing the data in droplet-looking voxels rather than etching language symbols. Cool video of the process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CzHsibqpIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CzHsibqpIs
- etaioinshrdlu 6y agoBut, from the article, it doesn't look like they used Project Silica here, they used piqlFilm.
- rejschaap 6y agoYeah, Project Silica is another project within the GitHub Archive Program. You can see the microfilm in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzI9FNjXQ0o&feature=youtu.be&t=72 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzI9FNjXQ0o&feature=youtu.be...
- rezendi 6y agoArchive Program director here. It is basically microfilm (albeit very long-lived) but the data is mostly stored in a pixellated form, not unlike QR codes, although every reel also contains human-readable instructions (and code) re how to unpack its data.
