Images viaComputer historian, blogger, and web commentator Jason Scott recently paid a visit to the Internet Archive headquarters in San Francisco, catching a glimpse of the organization's brightly flashing computer lights and the building's collection of commemorative statues that pay tribute to the Archive's employees. As a computer historian, Scott surely felt right at home.Luckily for us Netizens, Scott is also a photographer, and he chose to document the occasion with a series of ghostly long-exposure light art. Using the blue and green lights of the Internet Archive's servers as a backdrop, Scott used a flashlight to paint a dynamic array of twisting light art images. He even wove a few light beams between the statues, illuminating them with an otherworldly aura that almost makes them look alive. To top it all off, Scott himself makes a transluscent cameo in a couple of the shots, emblazoning his face across the Internet Archives servers. The servers containing big data are already a little eerie, but his ghostly presence takes things to a whole new level.
