"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.
Refreshing the page reveals new content from the archive:

these limestone walls whisper a conglomerate fragmented journey that has lead us, toward this day, surrounded by precious gifts like these images, these hanging skirts, these glass bush-yams, these baskets, and now, in this moment, I call on you to reflect on the very walls from which they hang….

"Whether they wander, saunter, stroll, dérive, crusade, trespass, or consciously follow the coordinates of a map; whether they bring with them a camera, facial recognition software, audio recorder, pen and paper, or nothing at all; walking can provide designers and artists with ways to think and make in solitude, to talk and exchange with others, or to simply co-exist with non-human companions."

Many of the paths my own walks have followed are traced in the archive, much the content too was chanced upon along these very same paths.

Finding the self in the chaos of the dust, finding the story amongst the fragments.

"Now he was…dust. To an outside observer, these ten seconds had been ground up into ten thousand uncorrelated moments and scattered throughout real time - and in model time, the outside world had suffered an equivalent fate. Yet the pattern of his awareness remained perfectly intact: somehow he found himself, “assembled himself” from these scrambled fragments. He’d been taken apart like a jigsaw puzzle - but his dissection and shuffling were transparent to him. Somehow - on their own terms - the pieces remained connected."
