Do the publics of the park create their own autonomous archive by simply visiting the park and - either consciously or subconsciously - thinking with/through this research?
Does an archive necessarily need to appear as a database? How do we avoid/circumvent problematic categorization systems e.g. Linnaean?
The archons are first of all the documents' guardians. They do not only ensure the physical security of what is deposited and of the substrate. They are also accorded the hermeneutic right and competence. They have the power to interpret the archives. Entrusted to such archons, these documents in effect speak the law: they recall the law and call on or impose the law. To be guarded thus, in the jurisdiction of this speaking the law, they needed at once a guardian and a localization. Even in their guardianship or their hermeneutic tradition, the archives could do neither without substrate nor without residence. (Archive Fever)
