This sounds like a perfect example of a "recombinant archive" (like i 
tried to describe it during previous thematic discussion).

In a sense, it's always about making/finding links, building/removing 
relations, between existing things, and looking how the system emerging 
from these relations is evolving. Things can be concepts, ideas, shapes, 
objects, materials. From this point of view, any devide, between 
thinking/practices/materials/contexts, becomes an oportunity for a new 
relation/link/interaction, and conversely, and there is no end to this 
process, at all scales, in all dimensions.
