The difference is fascinating. Not sure if it's clear from the context,
but in LOST, the names of the owners are separated from the names and
descriptions of the objects; they can't be reconnected. So the objects are
untethered in the world (as they are in real life, rarely found again,
especially when death intervenes); there's the wide world of the objects
and the wide world of the previous owners (associates might be better, one
never owned a parent for example, although one might own a bowl),
fundamentally separated.
I love the poetics/poesis of your piece - thank you! - I didn't know about
it.
The revised url works by the way - this one is cut-and-pasted and balked
of course. Apologies again, Alan

objects.

I was the 2nd virtual writer-in-residence. Think this might be

interest here because of the networking involved, which was also
a
metaphor for lost packets, lost archives, disappearances,
ruptures,
etc. in online worlds.)

My favourite trAce project ever - Lost, by Alan Sondheim . It no
longer
judders on the page as it was designed to do but the entries are
as
haunting as ever. Users were invited to fill in the form and
write about
things they have lost. Many entries very sad, some very funny!
