On the lawn outside of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's House, Brian Turner suggested building a library in Baghdad. He bought a book for it, the 2014 Warrior Writers Anthology. "They will ruin your life," a former Navy Medic warned later, during a Warrior Writers reading at The Old Oak Dojo. "Try litreactor.com" Between drug addicts seeking bathrooms to shoot up, skateboarders kick flipping past vagrants, Veterans riding wheelchairs into glass walls, building managers policing snacks, hooligans damaging property in the name of respect, leasing agents chagrined about showing IDs for keys, and the White Nationalist Navy Reservist who quit after he got caught PWNing his domestic enemies on Twitter, the concierge who produced this collection found it difficult to differentiate between "them" and (for example) social algorithms, or developing AI. After half a decade immersed in militant ephemera, during a “Conflict Exchange” with Combat Paper at a Veteran Art Summit in Chicago in 2019, a gathering around a table made by former Army helicopter pilot Alicia Dietz discussed what it might look like to “Rebuild the House of Wisdom.” "Don't say you can do something that you can't," said a “good friend” who "they" put into a position to access VA records. "What's the age of onset of schizophrenia?" Reflecting on a romantic era that only really exists in translation between our imaginations, these artworks work together to conjure a digital mirage of The House of Wisdom.
