Summer of Green (Zine, 2023)

Where are you being thrown out?

Where is the last

memory

of

you

being

discarded?

I was asked this by a man on an island; someone from the past. It rang true as everyone is being consumed by the digital black hole that is memory. We lose more to it by the passing day. We gleefully send information into it at an alarming pace.

Think of where the last memory of you will end. Entropy? Singularity? So where are your memories being lost? They are being thrown out by something at this very second. A brain somewhere is losing the memory of your first whatever it is and it will never come back. Post it to wherever, it will disappear at some point. Only tangible things last into the future long enough to change the way the memory of you survives.

If you don't produce a single tangible thing, the memory of you dies with the last person to think of you. You end.
