Humans leave their mark, and the earth carries it forward as an archive. The supposedly unexpected event of the Anthropocene had already arrived beforehand. These sudden revelations embedded in geological slowness offer a view both to the historical layers of discourse concerning technology, waste, and time and the geological realities where we collect and dispose of resources. Stoppani’s vision of the earth archive is the afterglow of the scientific and technological culture. It’s the trash in midst of which we live. And it’s the trash we have to sort out in case there would be a human future, in the midst of our constitutive nonhuman fellows. (Jussi Parikka, A Geology of Media)
