APPLES, Proust's madeleines
"In existential mathematics, the degree of slowness is directly proportional to the intensity of memory; the degree of speed is directly proportional to the intensity of forgetting."
An illness affects memory.
Post hospitalization for amnesia, tests and investigations, if no one comes looking for you the recovery plan begins:
- learning to live again
- building a new identity
Gradual instructions are given through recordings; these will be followed by photos on Polaroids and scrapbooks documenting the steps acquired.
Going to the movies, cycling, dancing.
Having sex, masquerade party where even Batman has forgotten who he is.
The twist awakens the memory of the body, a funeral that of feelings.
Can programming be broken?
In Greek cinematic territory, it seems impossible not to turn our attention to the Platonic knowledge that arises only through reminiscence: to know is to remember what our souls contemplated in the world of ideas and forgot once they fell into the body.
Emotional literacy does not come without the cognitive maps of memories and feelings.
To lose memory is to lose identity, the complexity of characteristic and fundamental personal data that enable individuation and authenticity.
Preserving memory is not beyond the scope of this eventuality, many forms of hetero-programming are freely available to all regardless of oblivion, especially at the mercy of total unawareness of self.
Know thyself, said Oracle of Delphi:
without memory and without knowing not knowing unconscious and voluntary servitude lurks.
Word of Christos Nikou
