"But as we’ve noted before in this blog, it’s not just about the gadget, it’s about the content. Or, more specifically, how the content adapts and evolves in our blogging, tweeting, Facebooking, YouTubing times. Yes, the so-called legacy media companies (print, television, radio) create content — informative, valuable content, many of it crucial to our democracy. But, for the most part, they fail to realize how their content fits in a larger news ecosystem, one that’s being increasingly driven not just by the select few who create the news but the online masses who consume it. And then want to engage with it, question it or tweak it, pass it around, and make it their own."

"I have been collecting worthless material for almost ten years now, talking good care arranging it, documenting it, indexing it, and preserving it from any possible damage. This material is constituted of cut-outs from local newspapers, photographs, interviews, news stories, excerpts from television programmes, objects and other things . . . Today I possess what resembles an archive, or let's say I posses a real archive that relates only to me: a kind of added memory that occupies different corners of my domestic space, despite the fact that I do not actually need it. It is an invented memory that is exhausting me, and which I cannot liberate myself from. For this reason, I will uncover some parts of my archive, hoping that - by making it public - I can get rid of its weight. This will be my attempt to destroy a memory that doesn't know how to destroy itself."
