2005 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal

Abstract

This proposal for the New Media Fellowship is in support of a dynamic project, memoria/memoir, which will be realized as both an interactive installation and website. The website is currently in development and this proposal is in support of the installation, which I intend to begin production on in spring 2005. Among other things, memoria/memoir is a venue for current research in Artificial Intelligence learning capabilities, on-going research into the workings of human memory and an exploration of non-keyboard interfaces for computer input and output. Working with collaborators in digital arts, electrical and computer engineering, neuropsychology, computer science, and composition and sound design, I am in the process of creating a complex arts and sciences interdisciplinary collaborative research project, which connects machines with human intelligence and memory with visual and aural symbols.
