ARS MEMORIA
by Helene Nymann

This publication explores the interplay between perception and memory as they are challenged through todays technologies and digital media. The different texts look at both the neurological functions of the brain in relation to the formation of explicit (declarative) and spatial memory, to ancient memory techniques where the imagination and intellect help shape to not only our biographical memories but also our vision of the future. Different contributors have been invited to share their take on these topics and as such expand and explore the themes of the exhibition from each their own individual strand of research.
