Imaginary Friends
2022

This project was initially created for a Parsons class that focused on understanding the NFT market. Over this 5-week workshop, we questioned what happens to archival information when it becomes undeletable and how minting has an effect on the meaning of an archive.  This project was titled traces, taking 5 pieces from time and giving them permanency to create a public community archive with my classmates. I chose to preserve people’s imaginary friends. I have continued working on this and I really enjoyed the process.

When creating the questions, I asked about their childhood experiences, and if any games or situations stuck out to them. I followed up asking about play in their current practice. I address the results of this within this book.
