Play-lets
is a project for the web by Conor McGarrigle which explores the structure
and nature of memory. It is based on the writings of psychologist August
Klein and on the deconstructed memories of artist Arthur X. Doyle.
Playlets "are
mini episodes which form the structure of memory, they act like
"navigation
aids for the brain with each one pointing to memories from a specific
period of time, enabling the mind to recall memories in a time
context."
August Klein.
It is important to read
the background information on August
Klein and Arthur Doyle to understand the thinking
behind this project.
The project is designed
to encourage exploration, there are 25+ pages with no beginning, middle
or end, but there is a journey. There are many hidden links and many
different ways to navigate through the work, .
