Hardware/software and related files for a project commissioned by Rhizome.org (thanks!) gathering images of computers and computer use on the American television series "Law & Order".
Why aren't the screenshots here?
Because there are 11,000 of them, and they're copyright NBC/Universal. If you'd like access to the archive for research purposes, please just email me.
