Common Matrix is an archive of objects set in a speculative future, where a post-human civilization attempts to make sense of the detritus that has been left behind by the people of past. 14 objects are placed in a series of nested folding boxes, with 7 on each side of the book. On the front and back covers is a post-human script to denote the archive.
