A madman, wrapped in the clothes of a deadman

This work is one of the practice’s hardest bridges: memory after injury, image after damage, retrieval under uncertainty. The post-TBI pinhole-camera journal does not offer stable recollection. It offers blur, fragment, smudge, and missingness.

That instability becomes important later. Questions of mistranslation, partial recovery, participant memory, and what a system can ethically hold do not begin in software. They are already present here in damaged recollection and incomplete image return.

Long before memory tools and consent-forward systems became named projects, this work was already dealing with retrieval under loss.
