Anindya Singh's Windows 98 Field Notes
A personal research site built around an interactive map of Indian states, each opening a dossier about visibility, erasure, and bureaucracy.
Field notes
The site organizes its central experience around a selector containing Indian states and territories; the page says each choice opens a dossier and asks visitors to wait for its story to load. Its framing is unusually explicit: “Windows 98,” “Field Note 00,” and a terminal labeled “CHHIPI/42” sit alongside links to Writing, Work, Colophon, and Source code. The extract does not include the individual dossier contents, so the archival material itself remains partly unseen here.
