The main challenge with accurately presenting memory is the fact that even its definition changes drastically from one person to the next. One universal truth, however, is that nobody’s memory is perfect, and we don’t remember anything quite as well as we think we do. Memories are frequently jumbled, misconstrued and flat-out misremembered in order to suit our purposes at the moment--the brain remembers not exactly what happened, but what is useful to remember. Using this information, our group decided that our subject matter should be an emphasis on these imperfections of memory. As a group, we decided that our project would be strongest if we made it multisensory. Our piece will start off with a short clip of sound in order to cause the viewer to make an assumption about what they’re hearing, before showing them an image that will either match up with or contradict their original assumption. Afterwards there will be a discussion in order for us to see how our piece has affected the viewer, and whether or not it is successful. All of the media used for this piece is stock photos and sounds that we are able to find online. This piece is interactive not by itself, but in the experience of the viewer. Because more than one person will be viewing it at a time, and because both of their experiences will be quite different, it will possibly cause them to question what is really in front of them. They will also be participating in a discussion that will help to add not only to their own experiences, but to the ideas presented in this piece. Through visual and auditory stimulus, the main feeling that we hope to convey is a sense of confusion. We also hope to raise awareness of the disconnect between memory and reality in the viewers, and cause them to see that memory is not always reliable. The mismatched images with sound will reinforce that position and show viewers that what they remember can be wrong or different. Sigmund Freud believes that memory can be influenced by what the person is going through at the time; therefore saying that memory is imperfect. Hopefully through the discussion we can pull out some of these ideas and get the viewer to see their memory in a different light. Maybe they will even trust it a little less. All images and sounds are stock sounds that were either free for public use or purchased with the funds given to us by Julie. The only non-stock image in our piece is on the cannon, which is owned by Lionsgate Films.
