securitizing the archive.

kaitlin attempted to take me to the main library at harvard, but the archive police were at it again. just as i was denied entrance to the main library at berkeley last march for not being of the UC caliber, i was barred from the library by its securitization through codes imbedded in student IDs. although technologically guarded, this archival society of control makes one exception regarding its stringent access policies – it permits the parents of students to enter. purchasing power strikes once again as this familial nepotism opens the library security gates just wide enough to allow the flows of capital to seep through.
