In the blink of an eye, the majority of humanity has become dependent on digital technologies: Tracking and analyzing our bodies is weaved into our everyday life. Every presentation of data and every production of an image, are pieces in a self-reflective mosaic.
The performance of data is almost never a static one - in the dynamic web, each load is a customized presentation of millions of pieces of information. Similar to loading a website, a memory is created every time it’s recalled. The slightly changed memory is now embedded as real, only to be reconstructed with the next recall.
Memory Gaps investigates memories through the technology of photogrammetry (Photogrammetry is a technique in which three-dimensional models are created from multiple photos). This technique of scanning an object or a space is commonly utilized to get hyper-realistic, three-dimensional results and is used in fields such as topographic mapping, architecture, engineering, police investigation, cultural heritage, and geology. The artist is particularly looking for imperfections, glitches, or empty holes in order to express the incompleteness of memory.
