Today, Tomorrow, and Yesteryear integrates pieces of my journals over the past few years alongside generated sentences (rule-based, not AI). Each person views a different version of the journal and will be taken on a different journey. It is truly endless into the past and the future. As one moves infinitely through the days there is a sense of not a straight road, but a spiraling outward.
As I stroll through my old journal entries, I see the ways in which I have grown but also the ways in which I repeat. Day to day, in years, eras, and history, we repeat.
In his piece for Lab, Jacob Cooper writes that with his music he wishes “not to evoke slow time, but no time." What kind of time does an eternal journal evoke?
