The project refers to the new possibility of loading in human memory with holographic images. Hologram is defined as the entire reconstruction of part. Thus, I will build a installation that will try to load visual reproduction of our memory. The project put into discussion guarantee security information stored in our mind after the first successful human memory load with holographic images. Each of us is unique in building their memorie.
Today I shall attempt through artistic expression means, to bring in front of you this complicated problem wd are going to confront soon - "who are we, who are we going to be?" "Shall we be able to preserve our identity?" - here are questions that appear after the first interventions upon human memory. The first data loadings into human brains from a "memory module" i.e from a database, the first artificial human brain in working status which is waiting for a skull able to warm it, carry it and defend it - these are the new problems we shall confront is very soon. By changing an individual's behavior and controlling it by technical means, that individual looses his own identity. At a given moment we'll find difficult to make the difference between authentic information in our brains and the implemented ones.
Through this visual performance created with the help of this equipment I shall attempt to induce into the spectator the uncertainty state an individual gets through in the moment a piece of information is forcibly implemented into his brains.
My project comes to bring about into discussion the guarantee of the security of information stored in our minds and the protection level against the entity's memory falsification. Each of us is unique by the construction of each one's memory, and so it should remain !
I remain truthful to the idea that each individual should have his own identity, his own name, age, memories, and to remain unique through his / her own behavior, talent language, handwriting, declared sex, cultural and racial support - IDENTITY.
