EYE
The Eye project and my self-directed research are closely related. For the eye project I pitched an idea for a short film made of stock images and found online footage. This would tell the story of someone who get’s lost in memory. The project will be about the construction of memory. In this age we find ourselves more and more knowing where to find information instead of actually knowing the information. Research revealed that people who made a photo of an object remember less of the actual object then people who were ‘just looking’. What does our connection and reliability on our technical devices mean for our memory? What does it mean to for our individuality if we let alghoritms define our ‘most important moments of 2016’. Are we slowly but surely moving towards an homogenic hump of memory?
I went from green-screen studio to screenwriting… I have done a lot of stuff concerning memory and the research for it. It all touches different subjects that are related to each other.
For now I did some visual research by making some test-edits and tryouts. I still don’t have a clear idea of what the work is going to be.
