Research

I am currently researching memory, ergo the Memory Experiment #1, and have been reading a lot of critical texts. I am interested in Cultural. or Collective memory and Individual memory and how they relate to each other. In an effort to make sense of the theories I have read I have devised my own, represented here by a diagram. Feel free to comment.

Be Individual


Our participatory artwork BE Individual was a great success. On Wednesday we set up in the Grand Central Cafe, Royal Avenue Belfast. Outside the cafe we put a sign inviting people to come in and create a new identity. We were not sure how people would react to the performance, even if anyone would take part. On that note many thanks to the owners and all those who took part, either creating new identity cards or discussing what identity meant to them. 



 In Northern Ireland identiity is often portrayed by both the Government and individuals as GREEN OR ORANGE. A devisive system promoting a them and us mind set. With this in mind I wanted to see if we could start a discussion around identity.
The politicis of identity are a global concern, whatever way this is presented, altered, or manipulated. What is this obsession with labeling human beings have? Not only do we divide by political beliefs but culture and by life choices. My reasons for taking part in this participatory work are many, but the one that I think stands out for me is to be seen as an individual, not a colour or a statistic as determined by some else.
