Collaborative project with Tor Jakubcin exploring the implications of technological advancements on written history, storytelling, and our memories. Installation ran during the Spring of 2014 in the B Gallery of Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA.
Viewers were invited in multiple areas to write on the walls in charcoal inscriptions of memories and experiences they were having.
