Awareness of the Deeper Levels of Memry as a Promising Performative Tool

Abstract

What if I remember wrong? What if the belief that I’ve got it all under control, that I am aware of why I am what I am is based on wrong causal associ- ations? I’ve been suspiciously looking at how my memories continue to define me. And lately my memory has been getting worse. If I remember wrong, am I wrongly defined? Do you remember how to spell “memry”?This essay encompasses the contexts, concepts, and process of my practice-research project Memry. In this project, I’ve submitted myself into a constant flow of theoretic material on the topic of memory, through scientific and philosophicallenses, and a constant artistic praxis. This has re- sulted in many visual, auditory, and text-based works, culminating in a lecture-performance in August 2022.
