612+ Virtual Cardboard Boxes Full of Ephemera










A while back, I picked up an ultracompact digital camera. Since then it's been a miniature, constant companion, and I find myself snapping pictures nearly every day. I am wonder if this is translating into a minor lifestyle change.

Andy Warhol used to keep a cardboard box next to his desk into which he'd toss things accumulated over the course of his life. After he died, he left behind a warehouse of 612 boxes of accumulated ephemera. There's no way I can handle that level of actual clutter, but a comparable volume of virtual clutter is something I can handle.

The story of Warhol's boxes is an interesting one. Check out Warhol's Time Machine at MetropolisMag.com. Also, there's an online exhibition of the Time Capsule #21 at Warhol.org.

Time to take picture of a soup can, circa 2006.
