about

After Dust Archive made public the finding known as "A.D. 2020" the existence of 4 other boxes was reported to us. The boxes appeared at different locations in different times (all prior 2020) puzzling the discoverers, them referring to the content as "familiar but not identifiable", "a far memory, but from someone else", "photos of places I might have dreamed of". Strangely enough, on top of any box a code, in blue ball pen: "A.D. 2021".

Discovery info
Name: BIAS + RNX
Location: Italy
Date: 31.12.2019

What follows is the content of the box
Dust Archive protocol code: D.A. #016 - A.D. 2021

∙ [SP#076] to [SP#084] spools of tape
∙ [IT#042] abstract print
∙ [IT#043]* VHS tape
∙ [IT#044] key, unlabeled
∙ [IT#045]** torn sheet of paper, containing notes handwritten with a black ballpen. Transcription follows:

"The Nile Delta
in the back of my hand
branched in the sand
The veins of the leaves
in the branches of trees
Past and future coexist
right here in the midst"

∙ [IT#046] envelope including 9 abstract, black and white prints. On the back of each print you can read hand lettering matching the title of the songs

* excerpts from the tape can be seen at www.instagram.com/dustarchive/
** with all the findings in hand we later noticed [IT#033] [IT#037] [IT#041] [IT#045] were part of the same page, as the tears perfectly match
