An investigation revolving around the human subconscious reactions towards daily visual encounters. The “blur” in relation to memory is defined as the realms of all our daily forgotten interactions, our long-term forgotten memories, and the manipulation of past memories shaped by older generations.
Archival subconscious archives all human memories on Pier 57, a void within the southwest edge of Manhattan. As a
/SEQUENCE relations living system, human memory is stored as data and virtually transformed into a visual gallery of interactive projections.
The form of the archive focuses on few “strands” hat intersect one another at critical points. The weaving form mimics the interactions of different memories coming together into one. All data is extracted. All data is saved. All data has chance to become manipulated, and reformatted.
The design creates multiple experiential sequences. As a spectator enters the archive, they are led towards specific circulation pathways that frequently collide and intersect. Layouts are organized to allow wandering and getting lost. The longer the system is ran, the more information gets collected, as those who once were spectators, become the subject of observance.
