Editor's Note
What does it mean to remember when nothing is ever truly deleted? When algorithms curate our memories and predict our nostalgia? Issue 03 explores the intersection of human memory and digital permanence.
This collection features works that interrogate how technology shapes not just what we remember, but how we remember. Lin Zhang's "Cache Memory" uses programming concepts to explore the temporary nature of human attention, while Nina Petrov's visual series "Corrupted Files" finds unexpected beauty in data decay.
In these pages, our contributors remind us that memory—whether silicon or synaptic—is always a creative act, a story we tell ourselves about who we were and who we might become.
