Wired unpaywalled: “Time capsules turn up in the most unexpected places online. This one surfaced by design. It’s a YouTube video, dated September 25, 2010. In it, dozens of people packed on a dark dance floor hold their hands up in anticipation of a beat drop. When it does, more hands go in the air. Grainy and less than 60 seconds long, the video is a remnant of that time, three years after the first iPhone, when people were still learning of its capabilities and house music was entering its Coachella bro phase. The video, filename IMG 0107, has nine views. IMG 0107 landed on my screen by way of IMG_0001, a website created by San Francisco engineer Riley Walz that pulls all the videos uploaded to YouTube from the iPhone’s long-lost “Send to YouTube” feature. Because iPhone used to name video files “IMG_XXXX,” Walz says he was able to use YouTube’s API to pull all the videos with names in that format. He identified about 5 million. On his site, those videos cycle through in no particular order, like a playlist on shuffle, offering up what Walz calls “unedited, pure moments from random lives.” It’s the kind of single-serving site few people make these days, but also one that speaks to the current yearning for a bygone digital era. “It’s almost like these videos are kind of extinct now,” Walz says when I call to ask him about his site. “They won’t really be produced this way ever again. It’s like a time machine.”
