| Summary: | Palimpsest: 1) A manuscript on which more than one text has been written with the earlier writing incompletely erased and still visible. 2) A place whose older layers or aspects are apparent beneath its surface. 'The Palimpsest Project' will create a digital, illuminated manuscript using the journals of the dead and a shifting population database. An intersection of The Archive, technology and storytelling, this ‘manuscript’ – an interactive video installation - will breathe life into East-Central Illinois’ history, bridging past and future with an anthology of interconnected stories stretching back beyond memory, just below the surface, incompletely erased.
