This archive looks nothing like an archive. If you take it as an archive, it will disappoint you. Yet it is a fully functioning archive, just the design is so divergent from the form that even after making it and using it for all these days, my mind cannot digest it. It feels alien, and I can’t even comprehend it.

Something I am realizing is that this distinctly different mindset of the Forestal era and the Ive era is perhaps in that the former wishes to shape tools; the software is a tool. The latter emphasizes display. The software is a frame for content. I look for the middle, I guess.
