Written against the record

The
Journal

Pieces that argue from the register rather than around it. Each one carries a permanent identifier, a named byline, and a list of the records it stands on.

    Our Project Begins

    The power to defund art erases no art at all. It smothers it quietly until no one remembers it was ever there. Why this register exists, and why it starts in North Carolina.

Why the journal is short

Bound, or not published

A piece runs here once every named entity in it resolves to a record. That is a slower way to publish and it is the only way the writing can be checked against the same documents the register was built from — the 40,396 captured pages behind 19,645 sourcedfacts. 2 pieces are on file. The register is the larger surface, and it is the one worth arriving at.
