Technical apparatuses define the means and limitations of recording, and by extension how memory is sustained through time. Each holds physical reality at its own resolution and its own remove. As prostheses in Bernard Stiegler's sense, an a-live medium of recording and retrieval, they form a technical life increasingly available and a technological unconscious with it, while constitutional systems, cultural erasure and power dynamics decide which of their records survive and how they are remembered.

The work gathered here takes that dual selection, machinic and cultural, as its point of inquiry: how a medium transcribes the physical reality, how that transcription becomes memory, and whether that memory belongs to a person, a community, or the infrastructure that stores it. Read chronologically, the practice moves from the city to the room, to the body, to the imaginary, back to a shared landscape, and finally to a community building its own infrastructure.
