Do you play games with your MEMORY?
. . . Have you ever had the experience of being surprised by remembering something about your own life that you've forgotten?
. . . Have you visualized another's reported memory so viscerally you felt like you were there yourself?
. . . Are you ever conscious of "making a memory" while the experience is still happening... or forget the very thing you're doing while still in the act?
. . . Do you love to revel in memories, curate them in your external environment, or feel haunted by their unwelcome recurrence?
. . . Have you ever tried to intentionally forget something? Did it work?
This month at
Ludic Liberation Lab we will be playing with
memory in some of its various forms โ autobiographical, episodic, prospective, working.
The main course of the Lab will involve playing a virtual version of the table top indie game
Fading Memories, developed by Italian game designer
Matteo Menapace.
Fading Memories is a cooperative storytelling game in which the players work together to share personal memories with each other, and prevent memory loss from becoming irreversible.
We'll also play some memory warm-up games and consider whether our relationship to memory can ever be truly liberating, or if memories always capture us in some way.
Join us to play with MEMORY!
