About the Administration
Hall |
|
Everyone passing through the
Memory Arena Complex is processed through the
Administration Hall. Crowds are first processed
by over seventy bureaucratic hierarchical staff
members through a labyrinth-like transit station,
passing through numerous passageways, waiting and
administration areas and related
exhibitions. The centerpiece is a
fully operational "Great
Archive" from which
"files" are checked out and transported
to be read aloud in the second space, the
"Arena". The bureaucratic
labyrinth is made up of a maze of passageways on
multiple levels in which personnel, at 10 to 15
stations, take tickets, issue instructions, keep,
search and distribute records, inform other
personnel, and direct the visitors and guests
through a people processing transit hall. Video
monitors inform the visitors as to the progress
of the ongoing event which is simultaneously
taking place in the Arena.

Located in the Administration Hall is also the Control Central,
where all functions of the Memory Arena are administered
including Video Projection, Lighting, Sound, etc. Control
Central is also the operational base of the Head
Protocolist, who oversees all staff members
in all spaces and is who ultimately is in charge of the
entire mechanism of the Memory Arena Complex.
The Administrative personnel coordinate the event among
the seven hundred readers, the public, and the
hierarchical staff of archivists and bureaucrats, making
sure that each individual and each archive file is at the
correct place at the right time and that the "Master Protocol"
is followed.
