Project Details
- "A Memory Project" is an interactive exploration of memory and forgetfulness in humans and computers.
- Content is presented from scientific (physiology/psychology/epistemology/etc. of memory) and artistic (questions about the relationships of humans to computers) perspectives. The project unfolds temporally as it looks at memory and forgetfulness. The system reflects this change by beginning to forget itself - menu choices disappear and sections become unavailable.
- The cartoon agent "Bob" serves as host and personification of the project. When the system forgets, it is through Bob that forgetting is translated to the user.
