Fragile Memories (Almost Human, Chapter 2)

Fragile Memories" is a collection of 12 video art vignettes that explore the ephemeral nature of dance as a powerful metaphor for a way that our memories are formed, distorted and erased.
Human memories are not fixed and unchanging. Every time we recall a memory, our brain reconstructs and reinterprets it, a process called memory reconsolidation. This process not only influences how we remember but also has a significant impact on the authenticity of our recollections. The very act of remembering something can alter, modify or even erase parts of that memory. These art pieces embrace the fragility, uncertainty, and flexibility inherent in our perception of the past, to highlight the delicate balance between preserving and transforming our personal experiences.

This is part of Almost Human, an ongoing audio/visual project that subverts the concept of human identity in a world where technology is gaining the capacity to uncontrollably change society, culture, and our very species itself. By introducing a non-human creative collaborator, the project aims to provide a fresh and more objective perspective on how our minds and bodies work.
