the art of memory
The newest Imaginary Year entry is about memory, sort of.
Browsing for inspiration this morning, I did some Googling on the "art of memory." The practice strikes me as so completely from another time that I have not yet fully wrapped my mind around it.
Fortunately, others have, and they have come up with promising applications of the art in our contemporary time. For instance, here's an interesting-looking abstract focusing on the art of memory as a model for digital archives.
"[This talk will] look at fundamental ideas from the ars memoria -- architectural image placement, the book as nonlinear theatre, encyclopedic culture, the author as technologist-magus -- and then map some of these ideas onto the emerging landscape of the 'global digital archive.'"
Following the abstract is a rather fruitful-looking set of annotated links. And there's these, too. Labels: indexing, memory |
