I. Down the Rabbit Hole

Lacking the ability to ever recover the original tales of Alice—rewritten as they are now by both storyteller and listeners, their ephemeral contents an inaccessible backbone of the Alice mythos—I am left with the \'Alice\'s Adventures Under Ground\' manuscript as an entrypoint to my search for Alice. Likewise, you are reading my own hand-written journal—or now, my transcription of that hand-written journal—the first of twelve mediums I'll be using to interrogate Alice wherever I find her. Alice has evolved repeatedly from the shaless character of Dodgson\'s stories to the haunting photographs of Liddell as she aged to Tenniel\'s iconic illustrations and far beyond—to Disney and the abstractions of Mary Blair, to metaphorical kin of Neo in The Matrix, to iPad app star and video game murderess and beyond. Alice's identity is constantly re-embodied.
