"Miner's Journey" is one of many journeys through (an)archive. (an)archive is not static. It exists as curated data and that which will never be seen outside of the curation. It is in data, in place, on site, in (latent)space. (an)archive is presented as fragments, with an invitation to explore or simply observe.

Calvino himself struggles to understand the maze that he has been creating. All the possible combinations (“I grandi numeri”) and all the lore behind each tarot figure make the construction of the maze complicated not only for the reader, but for the writer himself.

"This fossil reveals a remarkable evolutionary stasis in the morphology of such an advanced avian feeding apparatus through ca. 30 million years. Several hypotheses are proposed to suggest explanations for such examples of long stases in volant homeothermic vertebrates."Louchart, A., Tourment, N. & Carrier, J. The earliest known pelican reveals 30 million years of evolutionary stasis in beak morphology. J Ornithol 152, 15–20 (2011).
