3rd episode from the series Greg Beller
Synekine project - Collective memory palace
6th > 10th October 2014
Recipient of IRCAM’s 5th Edition Musical Research Residency Program, 2014
Presentation:
This project merges gesture and voice through technical innovation.
Researchers, developers and performers connect to enhance the body’s language.
The Collective Memory Palace is a mnemonic technique that went out of use after the Middle Ages. A speaker could memorize a lengthy speech by distributing it into different spaces of an imaginary place. The Collective Memory Palace is the choreography brought about by two improvisers evolving within a new device : Sound Space.
Metaphor installation, sound sculpture, this place offers the public a prospect to call upon another’s memory.
