The whole project reminds me a bit of a recent RadioLab (or was it TAL?) about Origin Stories - that we all want things to have a romantic history above and beyond their true use and meaning. But the fact that the objects are now included in the project - that alone increases their value and adds to the romantic origin - whatever the fictional, and true, origin story is. It's all very meta. I hope I can get a ceramic cow creamer out of it. I so want to believe this story.
