FOUNTAIN OF FORGETTING

A large temporary sculpture/video installation memorializing what has been forgotten to make a current and/or popular narrative possible. It is a digital fountain overlaying video of water through a live feedback process, creating an interactive fractal pattern. Though designed to memorialize the role of forgetting in the formation of memory in a general sense, in application - depending on the locations of its installations - the Fountain will be used as a gathering place for meditation on that which has been or is being forgotten in the service of the current or developing narratives.
