*Question notions of the object, of authorship and distribution*

*To arrange and rearrange information is to personally or administratively
produce or document history*

Either using real documents, close copies or absolute fakes,
information exist to create meaning and commentary inside or beyond
context. Truth and evidence may be questioned, but the information is
still there. We have entered a culture of choice,
emphasizing the importance of availability; how to choose, arrange and
use. Distribute. Being an expert means to be confident there is always
an easier way to do it, that there is always a more direct
confrontation with reality which might yield an interesting spin-off,
that there is always the possibility of an incalculable effect, which
might turn
everything upside down.
