Subject: Memory + Place, David Morris, phenomenological experiment design
Dear Helgi and Satinder,
How are you?
I take this opportunity to introduce the two of you to each other -- being indirectly related via both Helga and myself :) --
but also because of this new series of phenomenological experiment on memory & place that I've initiated with a colleague, philosopher David Morris. We're interested in finding a way to create experiments for holistic phenomena of human memory as part of bodily comportment making a space a place. We're avoiding "pyschologistic" experiments, and also be open to artistic applications and insights...
Helgi is of course a master in these areas, and Satinder has particularly good judgment on the scientific aspects of related phenomena of movement prosody, so let me send you what notes we have so far. It is very preliminary, but we are now at the stage of designing some experiments using our TML's live media apparatus. Please forgive the crudeness, We are open to a conversation on designing some experiments, if you are interested.
The next seminar discussion will be Thursday 5 PM ( Eastern Time Zone) in Montreal. I plan to be present by phone only. Skype may be possible, but I doubt it, but here is my Skype: shaxinwei
Warm regards,
Xin Wei
