[] In David Lynch’s *Lost Highway*, when a detective asks Fred Madison if he owns a video camera, Fred’s response exposes the fundamental tension between objective documentation and subjective experience. By preferring to remember things “[his] own way… not necessarily the way they happened,” Fred rejects the supposed objectivity of mechanical recording in favor of the malleable, personal nature of memory.

[] Lynch’s film explores how recorded images can become terrifying because they show something we can’t control – a version of reality that contradicts our preferred narrative. The mysterious videotapes that appear at Fred’s door represent an intrusion of objective reality into subjective experience.

[] Borges imagined “… an empire where cartography becomes so exact that only a map on the same scale as the empire itself will suffice.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Exactitude_in_Science?hidden=true
