A multimedia, intergenerational
afternoon for recollections and formation of new memories.
|
Everyone has favourite
memories, bad memories, forgetful times and thoughts
that persist. We all respond to memories, our own and
other people’s, adding and subtracting, making
stories. Many triggers send us back to our memories.
|
A great deal of our time
is spent recollecting and replaying the past. Did you
know that the average teenager spends more time than
a senior ‘recollecting’ events?
The experience of the eight-year-old falls quickly into
memory, caught in a web spreading through time. The
eighty-year-old remembers the child they were and the
memory is new again. The song may be different but the
response is the same. |
Capture, manipulate, store
and share your memories.
|
RECOLLECTIONS
looks at how our initial experiences form the basis
of our memory, how we store that information, manipulate
it over time and then replay and relive it. Recollections
looks at the human condition and places it side by side
with technology. What do we use to trigger our memories,
and how do we make sense of things over time? |
