=== My personal inventory- [[Jamie L. Ferguson]]=== | === My personal inventory- [[Jamie L. Ferguson]]=== | ||
My archive is an inventory of my belongings. The inventory exists as a database, numbered, individual records of objects that I consider myself responsible. Each object inventoried is described with metadata. These annotations are a selective analysis of, and appended resource to, the objects. | |||
These objects do not reside physically in one location and they are distributed according to a multiplicity of variables, though fundamentally, I require they maintain portability. Of course, in actuality they do, and are, across, beyond, and through portable (transportable) but I have difficulty to reconcile this, and so, their classification method is a mnemonic. | |||
These objects are not yet designed and manufactured to incorporate their odysseys; to tell of their various physical ingredients harvested and transformed, the many hands that shape and carry them, the trajectories they have and will undergo. | |||
Until now they do not come into my possession with any bona fide memoir to tell. Seemingly distant and anonymous, intricate and estranged, our 'belong-ings' become ours to mythologize, though a reductionist projection is dangerously simplistic, and bound to summon longing. |
