Mar11 90 ARCHIVE.tar

## Mar11\_90\_ARCHIVE.tar

**Mar11\_90\_ARCHIVE.tar** is a short unlisted video in Kane Pixels' Backrooms series. It can be found in the description of The Backrooms (Found Footage). The video is a collection of images and information related to the Backrooms and the Async Research Institute, which together make up a .tar file archive. It takes place after Backrooms - Motion Detected and before Backrooms - Pitfalls, although there is a discrepancy.

The name of the video is *Mar11\_90\_ARCHIVE.tar*, suggesting that it was created on March 11, 1990, the description reveals that the video was compiled in June 1991, over a year later. In addition, the description also calls the file that the video is made up of Mar\_90\_ARCHIVE.tar, creating three possible dates for the footage's creation: March 11, 1990, sometime in March 1990, or sometime in June 1991. It is also likely that the pictures were taken on March 11, 1990 and the file that the video is made up of was created in June 1991. However, this is a little unlikely.

## Summary

The footage starts with static and then transitions to a blue screen with text reading "data not accessible." However, the file “ARCHIVE.tar” is soon successfully reformatted and loaded. It then shows what’s in the a series of images related to the Backrooms. The pictures are:

1. An unknown room. This room could be another area of the Backrooms, since it has similar architecture but different wallpaper, or somewhere within the Async facility.
2. A blueprint of a machine or computer.
3. A room filled with water with a pipe pumping in more. It's unknown whether this is a new area of the Backrooms or not.
4. A scientist with a censored face sitting by a printer and writing. Between pictures #4 and 5, the file stops temporarily, with the footage instead showing a distorted background. However, it soon resumes:
5. Another person (likely a scientist or electrician) working on equipment. Their face is censored.
6. Large machinery and several wires in a room prior to being assembled. In songs, we see this same room (some songs also have rooms similar to it), and the models are NASA server models or similar to them. In one song, "Document Purge" and "Six Forty Seven (Kane Parsons Mix)", the rooms have the same back wall and the same floor, even with the painted tiles in some spots. Lastly, if this room is the same as the music images, then we can infer that the server arrangement in "Presentation" in the R&D section, could imply that this room is inside the Complex as a part of A-Space.
7. A third scientist with a censored face working with a computer while looking through a window into the Backrooms. Interestingly, the area of the Backrooms on his computer is different from the one outside his window. Unless of course, the image on the screen is from the perspective of the camera and not the person looking through the window.
8. An edited picture of a place in the Backrooms. One area has a red outline around it, and is labeled “Null Zone 4.” To the left, text reads, "Due to the elevation discrepancy between panel 225 and 234, a small kx field is created."
9. An image of a corridor inside a large machine. This machine is likely the Threshold.
