I just had a great idea. But first I want to talk to myself about how I may or may not be recovering my archives and all of my previous content. I was building an actual library of content there for a minute. I want to do as schneier had proposed and store all of my life in one digital location. We are getting closer. I could build a computer to solely track keldwud through google and download all content and arrange it chronologically. Then what would I do with it? Gimme some ideas of what one would do with a whole years worth of recorded life all in the same spot. How would you chose to relive it?

The idea that I am considering is going to be something of an artpiece. It will inflame and enrage many because it involves not quite creating the content but aggregating the content to tell a story. Instead of using one person’s content, I will use the internets to tell a story by pulling comments and posts and all sorts of what-not off the live feed and pulling them out of context and placing them in a new context.

The idea may not be new, and I may be screwing myself out of a cool idea by tipping my hand for all to see but who cares? Ima have some fun with this new idea.

I hope to create a multi-media art exhibit to display in an actual art gallery. I wish to combine all the different types of media and put them together into one cohesive jumbled chaotic work to display. I think this is something that I can pull off.
