Memoria Technica - Examining the Tension Between Aesthetics and the Representation of the Self

A group exhibition with works by David Adika, Clarissa Cestari, Zadok Ben-David, Carlos Garaicoa and Vivienne Koorland.

memoria technica was a name given to a process of mnemonics which Lewis Carroll (the 19th century mathematician and nonsense author, mostly known for his surreal novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) developed as a device to aid memorising. By relating to the common idea of an individual, internal system that utilises different memories when an association is created, this show offers the viewer a possible link which might exist between different artists working in different media; a peek into how they interpret the image they create (or use), through their unique process of facilitating memories and references, as well as aesthetic preferences.
