In the twenty-first century, the seemingly infinite capacity for digital data storage systems and the relatively easy access to personal archiving platforms has made it possible to shift private mementos that once were collected in physical form, into digital space. The storage of digital information in which personal files can be accessed in any given order implicitly suggests an archive or database. As Lev Manovich argues in his essay, ‘Database as Symbolic Form’ (1999), the concept of the database presents a new order in which one might structure and navigate the world. This idea of understanding the world as a “list of items”, however, stands in contrast to other culturally significant forms of meaning-making, such as narrative. In a narrative, information is organised in a ‘cause-and-effect trajectory of seemingly unordered items (events).’ (1999, 85).
