"We tried to make our practices the best they could be based on a lot of firsthand knowledge on the field, the artists, and their works. I know what Rhizome does has evolved a lot since then. What Rhizome does has been informed by what others do. I think there is also a desire to create consilience and congruity between and among different preservers and archivists."
