Hardcoded memory by TROIKA

Hardcoded memory, 2012 by TROIKA_

"Memory is closely linked to forgetting. Before the digital era, forgetting was easy, for better or worse, not only is it biologically in-built to forget, the analog world around us cannot guarantee that recorded memories will last forever. Photographs fade, film footage can be lost and media out-dated, thus remembering was the exception and forgetting the default. Now in an age of endless digital image reproduction there is no longer a need to remember. We externalise our memories by handing them over to the digital realm enabled through digitization; inexpensive storage software, ease of retrieval and global access, blurring lines of ownership and making virtual forgetting close to impossible.

In the installation, Low-resolution portraits are projected onto the gallery wall, generated by a hardcoded mechanical structure, which in the nature of its construction limits the selection of available images.

'Hardcoded memory' is a reflection on the moment, and on time itself, standing as a metaphor for the human search for meaning and continuity, while celebrating forgetting in the digital age." See more;

Prismatica by Kit Webster

Prismatica is an extension of the visual and perceptual experimentations of Kit Webster's Enigmatica installations. This piece consists in arrangements of pyramid-shaped crystals affixed to an LCD screen and illuminated with programmed geometric animations. These animated patterns are precisely mapped to the vertices of the crystals, illuminating them individually. The animations are refracted through the geometry of the crystals in concordance with the perspective of the viewer, which alters the way the illuminations appear and interact with the reflections of the surrounding lights within the space.
