The Collection Agency

The Collection Agency is a web-based repository for ethnographic research. The Collection Agency uses the language and taxonomic methods of museum practice as a strategy for institutional critique, while also referencing the obsessive nature of personal collection in technologically-mediated spaces such as the web. Encompassing personal photo documentation and online image search results, The Collection Agency is a photoblog, a research center, a revisionist text, a media sampler, and a cultural snapshot.
