Objects of Re-collection

Workshop by Lo Moran (Excerpt II)

Imagine being in a time before there were phone cameras or audio recording or written language and how all the stories of the world were passed down from person to person, body to body and how you are about to pass stories into these objects. Think of a person you know who still holds knowledge like this, knowledge that cannot be easily translated into a library catalog or computer system, the person who knows the subtleties of their concoctions that are not written down, the person who knows the most accessible ways to navigate a route or adjust an adaptive device. Choose an object in your surroundings that reminds you of this person.
