Memory Fossil
Can you imagine that in 2510, a highly technologically advanced society, people needed
to extract human memory information from stones originating in the 21st century to
serve as spiritual opium? This information shatters the seemingly idyllic yet
self-awareness-deprived perfect society, leading to a surge in illegal memory trading
within the black market by numerous spiritual devotees and rebels.
In this project, adopting a Future Archaeology perspective, I employ various mediums
to fictionalize the process of fossils being excavated, decomposed, remade, sold, and
used. In response to the complex emotions and spiritual needs lingering from the
post-human era, reflect on the imbalance between technological advancement and
spiritual growth.
