Milton's Balm Cruft is an ongoing "auto-generated video collage," first created in 2019 by artist Robert Spahr, "made of media fragments from the 1980s". "These images and sounds," writes Spahr, "promised a future that is now lost." The project sources its materials from archival footage of television commercials while pulling its audio from streaming radio and recordings of Steve Jobs, all from the late 20th century. -- From New River Journal
