Memory Theatre Two

 

 

In the present environment, the only thing that doesn’t change too fast to sense…is the self. We need to educate ourselves to the sensory friction of the environment against our bodies and our expectations.Disorientation now is more likely because we are overwhelmed by change, instead of repetitively beaten by the same stick (as in the mechanical age).There is the self, which changes slowly. There is the electronic environment, which changes constantly. For navigation you need a third point. The vanishing point isn’t in the world any more, it has to come from our own sensory history, knowledge, and apperception. Memory Theatre Two is a practice tool for this experience.
