This is a work in which I try to show the fragility of storing memories in memory, referring both to our mental capacity and also as a record by some technological means.

This idea arose because of a recent event about the loss of a person I miss a lot. In trying to recover its essence, I find myself unable to revive the symbolic concept of its existence, to ensure a representation that feels faithful to reality. It is impossible not to modify sensations associated with a past experience. Currently and for several years now, we have had the technological alternative as a means of storage. Although, in relation to our mind, it does not guarantee us any real accuracy either.

With this writing I do not seek to raise an objection to the modification of both material and immaterial things. I find it interesting to the point that I want to dedicate myself to constantly modifying reality! Let go of the idea of ​​recovering and focus on the future. Visualize and search among the multiple possibilities that you find within reach to convert what you imagine on the immaterial plane into a type of format that can be shared with whoever can receive it.

I celebrate the New Media, the non-traditional Forms of artistic expression that the historian Christiane Fricke refers to in “20th Century Art. Vol. II.” Publisher: Taschen.
