Memory Planes is a room sized installation that uses a 64-channel speaker array to create sound holograms at precise locations where volumetric light paths cross; inspired by the George Sonnabend exhibit at the Museum of Jurassic Technology.
This piece continues my exploration of memory and decaying processes to simulate the reformation of memory in the form of "sound events." In Sonnabend's description of memory he states that "there is only experience and decay" and posited a theory of forgetting that uses experience planes to illustrate this experiential decay.
“We, amnesiacs all, condemned to live in an eternally fleeting present, have created the most elaborate of human constructions, memory, to buffer ourselves against the intolerable knowledge of the irreversible passage of time and the irretrieveability of its moments and events.”
