Peeking into the Physical Archive of the Internet in Richmond, California. “Brewster Kahle is on a mission. The former Silicon Valley entrepreneur made a fortune selling a data-mining company to Amazon.com in the 90’s, and now he is the man behind a $3M and growing undertaking to create a comprehensive physical archive of the printed word. This means, while many of us are shedding physical and virtual cargo by sending our data to the ‘clouds,’ Kahle is retrieving digital information and transcribing it back into print to be stored in a monolithic, temperature-controlled storage constructed from 40 shipping containers, reports the New York Times,” via Architizer.

But on the basis of this comparative anatomy, Bertillon sought to reinvent physiognomy in precise non-metaphysical, ethnographic terms. Through the construction of a strictly denotative signaletic vocabulary, this project aimed for the precise and unambiguous translation of appearance into words.

Created with NYPL’s new Stereogranimator, which lets users create .gifs out of the library’s archive of over 40,000 19th century stereoscopic images. “Photographers around the world produced millions of stereoscopic views between 1850 and 1930…Around the world, independent and entrepreneurial photographers broke into the growing market for illustrations of all types of subjects: local history and events, grand landscapes, foreign monuments, charming genre scenes, portraits of notables and urban architecture. War and disasters such as floods, fires, train-wrecks, and earthquakes were enormously popular subjects.”—NYPL

I’m not there—Portuguese poet, critic, and translator Fernando Pessoa wrote under at least seventy-five pseudonyms. Here in his papers, digitized by Portugal’s Biblioteca Nacional, we’ve caught him crossing out his name. A moment of authorial disguise? abnegation?
