A Desk That Lets You Record Thoughts & Ideas in the Moment

Her exploration of how we remember the past led to the desk, which has 1,100 yards of paper that you can scroll through capturing all those phone numbers, street names, or long division you had to do on the fly. All those bits of information pass us by, never needing to be revisited so Camara asked the question, “Does the sum of all these tiny parts produce a new narrative on our lives?”
