Abstract:

  • This presentation centers on the Remembrance project, an ongoing endeavor since 2019, which moves beyond conventional medical perspectives on dementia to explore its broader philosophical and relational implications. By integrating machine learning technologies with elements inspired by East Asian shamanic traditions, the project offers an alternative lens to examine the complexities of cognitive decline, highlighting the paradox of the human brain’s persistent quest for understanding despite progressive impairment.
    Within this context, “Remembrance: Magma” is an immersive 3D animation project that harmonizes machine learning, cutting-edge neuroscience, East Asian aesthetics, and a deeply personal narrative to explore the intricacies of dementia. The work extends beyond the medical understanding of the condition to delve into its philosophical, relational, and poetic dimensions.
    “Remembrance: Coral” is a bio-feedback gamified performance project building upon the themes explored in “Remembrance: Magma.” It delves into the profound emotional landscape of confronting early-onset Alzheimer’s, a condition intimately linked to the artist’s family history. By merging the technological sophistication of machine learning with EEG sensor data, this project crafts a live narrative steered by brainwave activity, transcending traditional modes of storytelling and erasing boundaries between observer and participant, as well as between the real and virtual worlds.
