A concert-performance series celebrating collaboration, improvised music and live art. During each event, the music performance is recorded onto an audio cassette. As part of the performance, this cassette is subsequently encased into a material of choice - concrete, wax, molten metal, etc - and thereby at once preserved and destroyed in the process. Since the cassette is the only recorded trace of the music, this act encourages the audience to consider the value of their memory of what they have witnessed, as opposed to an objective recording of it that could be consulted at a future date.
We live in an age of relentless digital recording and storage of events both personal and public. The effort to maintain this rhythm presents us with ever-growing technological hurdles and various ecological fallout. On one level, I Remember You can be seen as a short moment of poetry that exists only in the moment, emphasizing the beauty to be found in the ephemeral. But it also aims to contribute in its own way to the important discussion of what we have to gain and lose as individuals and communities in the systematic digital archiving of our lives.
