SURVIVING TRANSMISSIONS · FILED AGAINST ERASURE

A Deposition in Chapters

Testimony filed before the record forgets.

"A transmission, in this series, is not a radio signal. It is a surviving piece of testimony about how life felt before the digital present existed."

The Aqueduct Series is an ongoing deposition — chapters entered on the record by a witness still available to give them, documenting a mode of living the fully digital present no longer manufactures the conditions to produce. Each chapter stands alone as a sealed transmission; together they form the volume.
