Hi,
I think we talked about this in class recently - the Speculative Archive is an art duo that does videos and installations about historical events (as they note: on secrecy and the production of the past). Interesting to think of representing the past nonlinearly...
Also, I've been obsessed with this blog: The Wit of the Staircase, written by Theresa Duncan, a writer and filmmaker. This summer you may have heard about her, since she and her longtime boyfriend (and up and coming artist) Jeremy Blake mysteriously committed suicide a week apart. Conspiracy theories abound...either way the blog is a really great one, and also an incidental landmark to the dead (like those myspace pages that they keep up after the person passes).

Yes, The Speculative Archive made the film "It's Not My Memory of It," previously mentioned in class, and they are on our delicious list! Thanks for mentioning, though. A similar artist/faux institution is The Atlas Group: http://www.theatlasgroup.org/ (Walid Raad).
