The artistic reality.

Spent the day researching philosophical aspects of the narrative self, and scouring the internet for information and opportunities in Porto.

Now I'm tired, and demoralized.

Onde estão as oportunidades artísticas no Porto?!

But I know a bit more about philosophy of memory.

The good people at the Centre for Philosophy of Memory are holding a workshop on causation in memory.

Do memory traces exist? How would / do they work? What about reconstructing memories? What do we need in order to remember something?

Excellent speakers.

No registration required.

FREE access via Zoom!!!

Cyanotype can reveal beautiful detail. The 'grain' is, with the right subject, very fine indeed.

This is a rose leaf. It has been 'scarred' by the visit of a leaf miner.

Physical scars act as mnemonics etched on our bodies, which remind us of certain events.

A scar means we survived and, physically, healed.

What happens to the memory? Does it fade with the scar?

Took the 30-unit modular origami apart and developed all the pieces into 30 similar but unique images.

30 objects which had exactly the same preparation, exactly the same form, became part of the same 'community' in the same place for the same time.

And yet, each perception differs slightly, each memory is the consequence of individual experience within that group.

But now, what?

"[L]et’s think a bit more about this complex business of relating what we think of as a self to what we think of as a past."

Their Labooko range is my drug of choice nowadays.

We have become used to outsourcing our memory, particularly as photographs.

If all your digital photos, music, writing... were lost, how much of 'you' would be lost with it?

Would you be diminished as a person?

Would your 'self' change with the loss of memories?

I wouldn't usually link to info on The Other Place, but I'm really very proud of this new paper.

Published by Memory, Mind, Media (Cambridge University Press) today.

It shows how restoring the physical properties of certain objects can also restore memories associated with those objects.

A new series of The Repair Shop, on the BBC, starts today.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08l581p

It's full of great old things, amazing craftspeople at work, and personal stories.

Surprisingly, it's also full of philosophy in action.

From watching Repair Shop, me and philosopher Dr Jude McCarroll show how repairing evocative objects also repairs memory.

What image do we hold of our younger selves? How accurately do we remember how we used to look?

There is a tiktok filter which approximates a teenage version of the current you.
(#Metafilter link: https://www.metafilter.com/198387/The-thoughts-of-youth-are-long-long-thoughts and Birdsite thread of examples: https://twitter.com/memotv/status/1628758590033993728)

It induces some very emotionally affective responses from people.

Imaginative perception, mental time travel and autobiographical memory in synergism?

What's a 'memory trace'? How do we store memories? How do we recall memories?! How on earth does memory work at all!?!

Sarah Robins understands more than most, and talks about Philosophy of Memory on the Brain Inspired podcast.

I have found the #philosophy community to be extremely generous and welcoming.
One positive from lockdown was their open-access academic workshops online, especially from the Centre for Philosophy of Memory in Grenoble.
This one, if you're into philosophy of mind, #memory, #remembering and #forgetting looks pretty fabulous.
