floaters

Was thinking about Steves writing / ideas and was going to comment in the comment section, but then it got too long.
i have also found the objects difficult in the collection, partly because im not connected to them, in a dwelling sense [ so will spend more time there] and also because of the lack of provinence. Part of me wants to stop them floating, but im also interested in how ive come to try and get them to be more than "just stuff" [raymond delivery mans quote. He is right they are just stuff serving a function as objects -thats it, i wonder is that interesting to make work about]. I want to fix them, or is it value them more? I feel i have tried to do this to some by finding out the artemis peoples favourite and why. Which gives them gives them a kinda provinence if only from their artemis lives.
In terms of becoming pseudo scientists, im not sure, how can we seperate out or disregard the emotional response? This is central to how i work, intuitive connections, like the fraction apple story. If not it becomes like the idea of pretend collecting at leeds fest -horrid and not authentic.
I collect stuff to remember my moment, an act of continuity. But also to remember someone elses moment, skills etc. But also they might be usefull.
