“memories of things that will never happen” (2019-2020)

[interactive web-based piece]

memories of things that will never happen was created as a response to the invitation by the Noisbringers (Maria Sappho, Brice Catherin, Henry McPherson) to participate in their intermedia album “will you merry us?”.


"however slow... the sound exists in movement.
is it possible to “arrest it”?
perhaps...
if the brain while experiencing it heats up... creates a memory.
is that the change of entropy of sound itself, enough to make it remain in the past?
or perhaps that is also just part of our perception of the world, and we just “belong to a particular physical system with respect to which this particular state we perceive in this particular way...
but even so, what if in this system perhaps sound doesn't change its entropy on its own but is the unattainable constable constellation of events in one quanta of spacetime only preserved in memory?
perceptions are many though… because even if we all belong to the same system, we all have our own subsystems, our own ‘goggles of experience' we hear through...
the very same moment of sound is a memory so different… does it maybe then cause the very origin of that memory to cease to exist all together
perhaps... the sound never changes its state... but then... does the sound remain in the past, can it then really remain in memory?
It makes me wonder if perhaps sound is a memory of something that will never happen... - ds
