1. Written on September 4th, 2020<\/em>
\n2. There’s a line in The Place Of Dead Roads by William Burroughs that talks of a museum of lost inventions.<\/em>
\n3. “Spread out in dusty cases, devices from extinct cultures so remote in space and time that no link exists to tell the viewer what function they served.”<\/em>

\n6. Or photos<\/em>
\n7. Or lines from books<\/em>
