References beyond the current archive.

Nothing here is part of the collection. Each one is shown with the signals it holds in common with SIMULACRA and the entries those signals lead to, so the reason it appears can be followed and disagreed with. Distance is read off the archive graph, not scored.

It crosses a discipline, or holds a single signal within its own. An existing interest extended into another creator, period or field.

Bunker Archeology

Paul Virilio · 1975

Virilio is already a creator in the archive, as half of the pair who built Sainte-Bernadette, and the book is where that church comes from. He photographed the abandoned Atlantic Wall for years and argued that its bunkers were a new kind of monument: oriented, windowless, already ruins. The entry currently cites the building without the reasoning behind it.
