“all familiar, all foreign: You are in an infinite background, at a place with no date. Your phone is unable to get the satellite signals; already lost its function. None of the imagery that represents the earth is realistic. Your location is not to be found on maps. All familiar objects are now in your memory. You find yourself getting emotional about digital tools. This is an archeological site of the future. Here, you are constructing the future.”
