Abstract
In this project, I explore concepts regarding remembrance, the affect of digital images in pursuit of memory, and the futile devices we use to preserve memory. Through analyzing theories postulated by other New Media scholars such as Hito Steyerl and philosophers like Gaston Bauchelard, I attempt to make sense of the ways in which we remember through trying to recreate places that are long lost. Is it possible to accurately remember a place or person that no longer exists? Or through whatever process of crystallization or documentation, does that person or place transform, become something or someone new?
