We’re closing Hi.co on September 1, 2016. But, paradoxically, there’s never
been a more meaningful moment to join. We’re making a “book.” We’re
printing — using a microscopic ion-etching process — the entire website
upon a 2*"* × 2*"* nickel plate, giving it a fire- and saltwater-resistant
shelf life of 10,000 years.[¹] At least five plates will be produced, to be
held by five stewards — museums and libraries — around the world. A seed
bank of our moments as connected to place. We met with the collections
director and preservation specialists at the Library of Congress in early
April of 2016, and the Library has agreed to be our first official steward.
(More on that sorcery and stewardship below.)
