Corroded Memories 2.1 - Temporal Exhibition Signage

Memories blur and intersect combining to become one. Important or unimportant facts are forgotten or ignored. For better or worse we forget, and as a result our memory is a fractured landscape of interlaced images and feelings. The human brain is not a computer data bank of dates, times, feelings and places that can be recollected perfectly at will. It is a stock of retained knowledge and experience, the knowledge or impression that somebody retains of a particular person, event, period, or subject. Corroded Memories 2.1 will culmiate in an exhibition featuring video and sound works by Australian and International artists. Supporting the exhibition will be two perfrormance evenings featuring local and international sound artists. The concerts will occur in Wollongong and Sydney. Greg's piece explores the theme of the exhibition through contemporary 'codes' of memento mori. Today, reminders of our mortality stem from our relationship with exponential technical advancement of the digital apparatus, digital representation and information exchange. As individual minds fighting for a sense of place within the many facets of digital globalisation, our mortality is no longer only reinforced through the body, religious connotation and the image of a skull.
