Research title: Re-mediating memory: Shaping Memory through Media Archaeology, Audiovisual Performance and Expanded Cinema.
Research summary
We stand at the edge of an analogue hinterland, on the brink of being engulfed in an almost entirely digital future where memory is constantly fragmented, processed and re-constructed in the digital age. This practice-research project analyses how the materiality and temporality of analogue and digital media facilitates this. The research is embodied through the making of expanded cinema, multisensory, nonlinear installations to present memory as fluid and embodied. It uses Media Archaeology and contemporary technologies both as phenomena to be interrogated and as tools to challenge digital culture's dominance and re-memori(al)se what we think we know.
Through this iterative process of creative experimentation and reflection, the research offers new insights into the role of technology in reconstructing memory through the critical framework of Media Archaeology, framing memory as a dynamic, fluid phenomenon shaped by collective and personal experiences and mediated by technology.
