	about me. _____________________________________________________ title : archive fever / memory _____________________________________________________ an archive is something that's accumulated over a lifetime. it could be in any form or media. like photographs, diaries, letters, or anything collected by the individual. it's a unique collection of "by-product" of human activities. just like your memory. memories make up your life experiences. your collective set of memories forms who you are. everyone's memory is personal and exclusive. no two persons will recall an experience identically. _____________________________________________________ main problem : memory is something intangible and it's a vast collection to tackle. each person's memory and how they register events and emotions is different. the challenge is to find that essence of memory everyone can relate to. _____________________________________________________ possible sub problems : 1. would i be focusing on my own personal set of archives and sharing those memories. or something more generic about memory? 2. the outcome may be too personal. such that not everyone relate and share the same experience about memory. 3. there are too many things in my archive. 4. identifying a target audience. those who probably share certain similarities of memory. or those who've never seen or experience my collection. _____________________________________________________	tag	past January 2009 / February 2009 / March 2009 /
Friday, February 13, 2009 5:13 AM . . . an archive is something that is accumulated over a life time. it could be in any form collected by an individual. it is a unique by product of uman activities. just like memory. memories make up your life experiences. your collective set of memories make who you are. every memory is personal and exclusive. no two persons will recall an experience identically. memory is intangible. memorygives a sense of time. how each one of us registers an event is different. but can you trust your memory. is what that is presented to you real. we control our memory. we decide whether to remember it or not. it is not reliable and can be distorted. memories are scary. you try to tuck away a certain memory and hope to forget. you succeed. but when looking at a memento or familiar scene it triggers back that certain memory. everything surfaces again. you relive that same moment. it feels too real. we all need memories to remind ourselves who we are. losing your memory is like losing your identity. but since it is your perception and decision how a memory is kept. then what is real or not. dont trust memory. . . . .
