"IN WANT OF SOMETHING ALREADY HERE"

CHRISTIE SHEN

This is a memory generator with a database of personal significant places, music, dates, and times to the artist. Each iteration presents a combination of four variables allow for the construction of new memories created from previous ones. Depending on what we deem important enough to recall, there is an inherent cognitive bias in how and what we remember, altering the contents of our memories and bringing into question why we remember what we do. Does the action of removing specific elements of memories out of context further degrade the original memory or present a visible pattern in what holds meaning? This generator serves as a reminder of past events and experiences and a method of forgetting by blurring them all together.
