On The Past/ Present / Future of The Past invites an improvisation of memory between humans and technology. It studies how we interact with memories and how engagement has shifted in the digital realm. It is inspired by experiences with my father lacking physical documentation and the later craziness of recording everything out of amends, until I realized how the endless recording completely ruined my intimate engagement with the past. With the analysis of my past and insight research of memory itself, I took writing and visual prose as a response to what I experienced, observed, and pondered.
