This article describes a new way to store data. "Cloud Storage," is the storage of public or private data in multiple virtual servers, for the benefit of organizations requiring backup of data. The advantage of cloud storage is that the buyer only pays for what he or she uses in terms of data storage. The technology has not caught on yet commercially, because of security concerns. I found this article interesting because of the notion of storage being virtual, and also because it would somehow come to be named "cloud storage." This article posed that ubiquitous question to me of "if everything, than nothing," because if storage of virtual data is so vital to organizations, and everything seems to be virtual, including the storage device, then what quantifies the price of storing "nothing"?

This idea relates to my concept because I am exploring preservation of life in terms of storage, which to me, equates these living, or once living organisms to objects. The taxidermy subjects are carried into the studio in the same "packaging" in which they are stored in my apartment, for however long I hold onto them. The storage concept gets a bit skewed when the camera is turned on the living, human subject, because it enters into a new discussion of species survival and artificial selection due to non-organic processes or modifiers of desired female traits.
