Modernizing concepts into files

The project aims to modernize the concept 'everything is a file,' originally from UNIX, by translating modern computer concepts into files. This move is about taking a historical mantra seriously and reevaluating it in current contexts. The speaker points out that while people often mention 'everything is a file,' they don't truly consider it when dealing with various digital elements like browser tabs, social media posts, or processes. By viewing contemporary computer elements as files, the project seeks to revisit and reinterpret traditional ideas like tradition and ritual in a modern light.
