The supposed five-minute memory of gold fish (I’m told that it isn’t so) is transposed onto humans in this work. The aquatic meanderings of the goldfish triggers sensors that in turn trigger images and questions. These images and questions act like a kind of memoria technica, a mnemonic contrivance; that recalls times past. The triptych of screens presents possibilities of these moments for us to savour and re-experience the aesthetic in our lives ­ a beauty that makes possible a re-calling, re-turning, re-viewing, and re-thinking, of past and future moments.
