Annals of Time Lost (キレovv乇尺丂 ノ刀 ム gレム丂丂 √ム丂乇) is a large-scale, printable diptych in the form of a tiff file. Fashioning himself as a digital archivist, Rafman uses centuries-old paintings as his starting point, and then imposes found digital imagery onto the work. This diptych is intended to be printed on architectural blueprint paper.
