Sound installation EARTH CHOROUS & PAIN CONTROL by self hypnosis

The exhibition questions common ways of commemoration and the people, things and events we remember, celebrate, mourn, memorialise, acknowledge and are mindful of. Blame the malleable nature of our brains. The things we consume have a way of nestling into the cervices of our neural cortex for a long haul. Regardless of how curiously or how innocuously we absorb information, it shapes our experiences and memories, and therefore our identities. It is that subjective nature of history, accumulated information, that grows not only our brains, but also our news feeds.
