Memory itself has acquired new meaning as the term is used to describe a cumputer's ability to store information or to determine the speed at which it is able to process that information. Can our own memories be quantified in terms of bytes of information, compartmentalized in tidy yellow folders? We often use objects or symbols or images or sometimes monuments to represent these memories, as triggers, as aide-mémoire. But are they not altered somewhat every time we bring them to the surface of our thoughts, placing them within a new context which will inevitably influence our interpretations of the original event?

New media / no memory is a 4-day collaborative virtual performance presents by Center for art tapes of Halifax. MdV artists from cities in Canada, South America ,and Europe, hybridizes the metaphors of the body, organisms, architecture, and networks to create a kind of cyborg monument announcing the presence of community in cyberspace. This time working within the theme of (no) memory.
