Memory Avatar


Hi guys,

The avatar that I created was produced strictly from inherit emotional symbolic and semiotic aspects that I found interesting throughout my life using visual and auditory applications.

Various elements such as the color and features of the avatar reflect cultural significance from various elements of fantasy and reality. The avatar itself would have inherit audio capabilities which take the voice of people I've heard of (though that function may not be available due to my fear of these online banking systems) and in accordance, gesture that person.

These elements coalesce into a single unified being of tangible memory fragmentmentation.

The idea seems nightmarish in a Phillip.k. Dick sort of way but that's how I see it.

What a powerful looking avatar. I like that memory is combined with fantasy in a sci fi scenario here. Sometimes memory requires remembering the future (or even forgotten futures from the past). You raise an important question -- is memory really about remembering our desires to be in the future? I'm not sure if I'm being clear here - but basically, the paradoxes between memory and imagined futures - the possibilities of what we are not just being but becoming - are very evocative. Look forward to your presentation.
