archives can't only be the archetype of stability and solemnity, they need to be sites of mobile memory. a hastily, incompletely agreed upon set of words written while a ship is sinking. the place people know to throw a rope down and pull up whatever is left. a nomadic archive doesn't rely on unique or persistent identity because it always needs to hide and reappear with a different name. an archive is a temporary eruption of hope and labor. do our technologies and techniques of memory match our needs?
