Memory Palace

Installation view of Memory Palace (2020) at Pop Montreal Festival @ Rialto Theatre

.

Memory Palace is a two-channel video installation. One shows an autobiographical screencast video centred on my relationship with my estranged mother, who I have only communicated with electronically since the age of ten, while the other displays a website that mines in real-time Twitter posts that include the words mom, mother, mum, or mommy. The work examines the connecting/disconnecting effects of technology-mediated familial relationships and the real emotions created in virtual spaces. 

It is part of the My Mother is Data series
