I watched Memento the night before the first class instead of going to bed. The memory loss in the movie seems to resemble what Claire has (based on the explanations Jill gave us). Apparently Memento is a very accurate reflection of what anterograde amnesia (inability to create new memories) is like in real life. How can you trust yourself if you can’t remember your motives?

I’ve been trying to imagine what it is like to suddenly not remember the last few minutes. So far I have been unsuccessful, everything we do is based on some form of memory.

Jack and I were hoping there would be more technical hands on and coding stuff in this project. At the moment it looks like we’ll be mostly using the Autographer cameras to help realise the NIDA graduates’ narrative arc. But then again no one seems to know what lies in store, maybe there will be a chance to work on the projection, visualisation and technical detail.
