Rationale

I sincerely believe that the amount energy required for organization is directly proportional to the volume of information that needs to be organized. It makes sense then, that in Allan Sekula's seminal article, The Body and the Archive, Sekula noted that the problem with the archive is one of volume.
Having read numerous papers, articles, and books in preparation for my thesis paper- coupled with scribbles of information on various pieces of paper strewn about on my desk - it seems that I too, have discovered what Sekula previously posited. In relation to the amount of work that I've done in preparation for my thesis, it seemed only natural to utilize the archive to catalogue my research, with the hopes of instilling an organizational system.
With that in mind, the following blog is dedicated to my ongoing research. After going through by hand and organizing my thoughts and references into categories on large pieces of paper, I have then transposed that information into type, and uploaded it to this site. Utilizing various blog search functions, and 'tagging' I am creating a dynamic and evolving archive which allows me to search my entries - creating new possible permutations for links, and corresponding ideas.
Additionally, this allows me to have my research at hand, potentially anywhere. It can be easily updated, sifted through, accessed and organized.
