Morrooo MIMI DISK

A photo and a song on a tiny disk, for one person.

Why I made it

What day is it? i’m late 1.44 MB
the first disk, 5 October

One night I found myself thinking about floppy disks from the 90s. A standard one held just 1.44 MB, less than a single photo on a phone today. It was storage for small, simple things, never meant to be sharp or complete.

The idea came to me on the 4th of October. The next day was a friend’s birthday, so I made it in a day and sent them the first disk: one photo, one song, and a short note that said “i’m late.”

Maybe we never needed to keep every detail. Just the feeling.

From sketch to the real thing

The first version, Memory Deck: a cream player, a brown disk and the line slide your memory in

The same player under a new hand-drawn headline, Put a memory on, with the Morrooo logo
024 OCTDrawn in PhotoshopThe Morrooo logo, a hand-drawn headline, new knobs.
The received page: A memory was sent to you, the player, and a patterned disk beside it
035 OCTSent to one personThe photo only shows once the disk is in.
Blender’s Shading workspace: the player with a video on its screen, and below it the node group named scanlines
0417–18 OCTModelled in BlenderI built the player and the disk myself, then gave the screen its own material: my video, with soft scanlines.
Hand-drawn disk patterns laid out in a grid: gingham, doughnuts, stripes, drinks and sunglasses, croissants, coffee cups

The finished player in the browser: the disk in its slot and a photo labelled Morning sun on the screen
