Sydney Christiansen: Digital Mythologizing

Digital Mythologizing

Undergraduate
Digital Mythologizing explores the alteration of memory in the digital age. This work exists at the juncture between past and future, with the meeting between the physicality of memory and the intangibility of digital-recollections. Photographs and imagery have been altered through means of technology, representing the changes our own memory experiences through the act of digitization. As technology continues to advance, so does the reliance for it to offer us ‘perfect’ recollection—a difficult feat when even digital systems are subject to deterioration. The temporality of these materials challenges the validity of our own abilities to recall.
