The Process
We started out with the computer but soon realized that we actually talked about the internet. This topic was far too wide and complex. We needed to narrow it down to a less complex object. We went from the internet to the safety net, like the ones you use during dangerous circus acts. We thought that every string in the net could symbolize ones memories and experiences, and that the net gets bigger and more dense as you get older and gain more experience. After a talk with Antonio, he told us that it was to abstract and that it was only a metaphor and not an analogy. He suggested that we could discuss the hard drive and how it works like the memory. Since we're not so keen on working with computers we decided to focus on the photo album instead. We thought of the photo album as a representation of memories and how that is connected to how you store memories in your brain. We dug a little bit further in how the human memory works and how it's connected in the brain.

After exploring different routes we now feel like we have stumbled upon the right one, the episodic memory (picture). This is where the brain stores memories of events and episodes. This is also where the memory looses its capacity as you grow older. From this we will create our installation.
