Leveraging digital forensics and data exploration to understand the creative work of a filmmaker: A case study of Stephen Dwoskin's digital archive

作者:

Highlights:

• Digital forensics can effectively extract activity timelines that help user-centred archival practice.

• Data exploration of hard drive activities can reveal clues about the artist's life and creative processes.

• Data exploration of hard drive activities can uncover the life cycle of files, and identify relationships between files.

• Analysis of hard drive metadata can help identify file formats and the software environment in which the artist worked.

• Metadata visualisations facilitate multiple levels of content access without the demand for specialist subject knowledge.
