I have reached a certain age when I have begun to realize that each generation treats the defining moments in their lives like great moments in cinema. Events that to generations before and after would pass as any ordinary day become iconic and enduring in the mind with time and quantity. Will anyone remember great moments from a generation entitled the "baby bust"? There are not enough people to carry the moments forward like a torch to be passed to subsequent generations. The Beatles are the greatest rock band of all time not because of Sargent Pepper or any other musical accomplishments but because millions of people born between 1946 and 1964 say they are.

Will the brilliant works contained in this project be remembered forty years after the last watercolor has been inked, the last film edited, the last narrative written, the last poem ends, the last line of code checked? The world of the internet can be our generation, carrying handfuls of matches rather than torches, a little flame for each moment that moved them forward to the the next generation.
