Exhibit 001 / Personal computing

Tonight,
it’s 1995.

Not a timeline. Not a slideshow. A place you can touch. Power on the family computer, disturb the desktop, and rediscover the tiny rituals that made the future feel enormous.

Archive notes / Version 2.0

A playable memory.

REWIND is a growing collection of deeply interactive cultural time capsules. Explore the family computer in 1995, walk into a Friday-night video store, then spend a 1997 Saturday building the ultimate toy-store wish list.

All sounds in this prototype are original browser-generated tones. No operating-system software, ROMs, commercial music, movie artwork, or third-party media are distributed with this experience.
