Who:
Scratch Disks Full is a publishing project for those with leaky sensory gating, sprawling interests, kinetic brains (and spirits), and “too many ideas.”

What:
Under the imprint Scratch Disks Full, we publish the excess, dirty data, spillage, noise, leftovers, and unfulfilled.

We publish:niche obsession zines
exhibition ephemera
lo-fi playthings
scores
textiles
typefaces

.

... and more yet to be determined

Why:Scratch Disks Full asks, in the spirit of Sankofa:

• What did you leave behind? 
  
• What would happen if you went back and got it? 

A scratch disk is a hard disk used as a workspace to store data temporarily. In applications like Adobe Photoshop, the scratch disk is used to hold the data being edited. When an error reads “... the scratch disks are full.” it means there is not enough space on the drive to perform the upcoming task. The users need to find space elsewhere or end the process; they are left holding the excess energy of an unfulfilled action.

Scratch Disks Full is a publishing project producing readers, workbooks, and lo-fi playthings exploring the excess of an exhibition, piece of writing, lecture, performance, or even other publication. By excess, we do not mean process work leading up to a final work; we literally mean the embodied experiences you could not give yourself over to due to spiritual unreadiness, the sentences you had to blunt because there was not enough time for further editing; the feral idea that blossomed during a performance and began to shape you as much as you shaped it.
