Imagine, I Am! is the result of research of the historical intersections of mediumistic practice and the techniques of audio and visual recording, exploring the private ways in which we use technology to commune with our dead. The degradation of analog media corresponds with the soft decay of human memory over time, whilst digital media is immutable and offers infinite recall and endless repeat, until a deliberate deletion or mechanical failure leads to complete and permanent erasure. The electronic devices and the organic technology of individual memory through which we memorialize our dead merge in a gestalt manifestation of collective loss.
Media Installation with sound, video and objects. Commissioned by the Zuckerman Museum of Art, Kennesaw GA for Medium exhibition, 2017.
