bah!

i started a lengthy post two days ago, but didn’t have time to fully realize my ideas so i hit save… where does it go? it’s not here.
rats!
ok, well, i’ll try to remember what i was saying but now i am not entirely certain and there’s not much time…
i thought it was facinating how to each of these exhibits/ attractions there is an aspect of the unseeable made seeable or the interior made exterior. All of a sudden, time/ history or our bodies or the presence of celebrity is split open and rendered totally knowable and beholdable. I wonder, however, how much this revelation adds or substracts to or from the aura of these things that we hold so magical?
However, isn’t interesting that celebrity, history, and the human body are part of the common human experience yet we stand in awe of them when they are falsely recreated (well, the bodies is real…)?
Why is it so important to us that these things be made seeable?
What happens to the value of real memories when we falsely create a type of memory? How or does it change history?
