Lilliput is an interactive digital travel log that places photographs in dialogue with the memories they trigger and connects those memories in non-linear progression. The project derives its name from a fictional island in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. In Swift's tale, the island of Lilliput is at war with its neighboring island of Blefuscu over the proper end at which to crack an egg. This war is the source of the term endianness, the computer science convention for communication when information is broken into pieces for transmission and reassembled upon reception. Lilliput: A Photographic Travel Log attempts to produce meaning by assembling photographs and narrative memories in digital space.
