This is an absolutely marvellous concept - I love thinking about archives, particularly personal archives, in this way. The more fragmented, feverish and blurry the better (à la Julietta Singh, Susan Howe, etc)
Thanks so much, Philippa. I LOVE Julietta Singh (I used a line from The Breaks as an epigraph in my book report project), but I don't really know Susan Howe's work. If you have a recommendation on Susan Howe and archives (or anyone else on archives for that matter), I'd really welcome it as I go down the rabbit hole for this project.
I love this so much and also am trying to think of more lateral, blurry ways to mark time, to create an archive or collection of an experience or time.
I'm in Collection Mode, so if you come across any more lateral/blurry approaches, let me know! I think part of my mission with this whole creative practice thing is to honor and champion the value of everyone's personal archives.
That Marc Anderson clip about wanting to move forward at all costs stood out to me too. Taking time to reflect is one of my core values! I would be lost without it, even if "it" just looks like tiny moments journaling, drawing, or talking to friends.
There was something about it that felt explanatory to me. Like, of course, we'll make the same mistakes if we don't reflect on anything that has happened. I would like to make new mistakes! :)
As someone who loves both reflecting and side-quests, I’d gleefully add to an existing shared document on existing tools and products. Scouring the internet for tools is calming for me.
"This was from my 2025 Spotify Wrapped. I am not sure whether to feel proud or embarrassed."
I LOL'd.
there is so much here about archives and futures that i have been deep in thought about that we MUST NERD OUT ABOUT SOON... until then

And that Ayana Zaire Cotton quote! Yes!

Oooooh, well, you asked for it. I made a doc (https://bit.ly/44Daqw6). One of my favorite models is ANTISTATIC's Untitled Presentation: https://www.antistaticpartners.com/slides
Maybe the easiest thing is to just create a template through something like Pixory https://www.pixoryofficial.com/
Scouring the internet for tools is paralyzing for me, so I welcome your suggestions!!!
quick question, how many projects can we collaborate on at once!?
the answer is definitely...ALL the projects
