Shuffle Drones a Shifting Story
I couldn’t have stumbled across this at a more appropriate time. I love Eluvium. His latest album Shuffle Drones is designed to played in any order… “The intent is to create a body of work specifically designed for and in disruption of modern listening habits and suggest something peaceful, complex, unique, and ever-changing.” I see […]
Everything has a Story
Look around the room at all the things you have and think about the story each one of those things could tell.
Exploring Interactive Narrative with a Three Year Old
Finch is my son… He is three. Nothing makes me happier than watching him figure things out, especially when that comes in the form of creative play. His favourite book at the moment is a pop up version of 20000 leagues under the sea. We keep it on a shelf, just out of reach and he usually […]
Neuron Narratives
I toyed with the idea of interactive multi-narratives a number of years ago, starting with a project called ‘FMRL – The Life of a Fly’… It didn’t really go anywhere and this is the remnants of where I got. I also worked on a number of interactive installations which allowed dancers to create real-time stories […]
Forgotten Portraits and Fragmented Memories
My life at the moment is completely absorbed in Vestige. I’m constantly analysing every moment anyone mentions memories and even my own memories that come to me during the day. I have been researching into memory but memories are such an integral part of life it’s easy to get consumed by thinking about them. But […]
What do Memories Look Like?
Memory is hard to define. It’s hard to describe what it is that you see when you recall a memory. Some memories can be vivid and others lacking in form. During the interview process for vestige I’ve been asking about what you see hear or feel when you recall a memory. I’ve been focusing on […]
Islands of Memory
In amnestics with anterograde amnesia, memories of post-onset autobiographical experiences, if present at all, are typically barren and impoverished. However, there have been sporadic reports of islands of memory–memories that are vivid, detailed, and specific to time and place. Memory is hard to define. It’s hard to describe what it is that you see when […]
Somewhere You Loved
Every time you recall a memory the proteins that form the memory are reconstructed. Memory isn’t an inert piece of data that sits dormant until accessed, it’s continually being destroyed and recreated; dying and being reborn. Every time the proteins coalesce and the neurons fire a little piece of the memory is changed. Remembering is an act […]
Lost in a Forest of Neurons
There she stands amidst a forest of neurons. A vista through every single thought you’ve ever generated. Nestled somewhere between that blanket you had as a child and lazy summer days. She stands still. So many trees lay fallen. So many memories lost. Yet this analogy isn’t quite right; “Every cell seems to have a […]
