Kei Kreutler explores how protocols develop and maintain memory, tracing historical memory metaphors from ancient philosophy through computation. She argues that protocols serve as mechanisms for memory management, where associative and taxonomic logic converge in computational systems to shape how information is organized and recalled.

Archives of Discontinuity

This issue examines California's wildfire management through the lens of prescribed and wild fires at the wildland-urban interface, tracing how 20th-century fire suppression policies fundamentally contradicted ecological understanding of fire's necessary role in ecosystems. The case study explores combustion as a memory practice and investigates how new tools reshape our epistemological relationship with fire management.

Researcher Salon with Sarah Friend | Good Death

Sarah Friend presents her Summer of Protocols research project 'Good Death,' exploring digital death and its relationship to biological death across AI agents, avatars, gaming worlds, and blockchain protocols like Ethereum. Friend brings artistic and philosophical perspectives to examine whether protocols themselves should be understood as having life and death cycles.

Memory Research Group Six Months

The Memory Research Group convened over six months to read texts about memory in reverse chronological order, from classical techniques through digital AI systems and back to physical substrates, tracing which contemporary memory problems are genuinely new versus recurring under different names. The group met biweekly with interdisciplinary participants from neuroscience, computer science, philosophy, architecture, and design to understand how memory operates differently across contexts rather than develop a unified theory.
