To start off the project I took some of my favorite parts from the readings and tried to interpret them into a discussion I might have in my head when I worry about the future and what will happen. The abstract discussion was created to represent both our insecurities about the future and the future to understand us and our past. It is also created for the purpose to to remind ourselves that there is only so much you can do by collecting moments in time, but that by collecting we are not doing as much to help our future as we think. We must also be able to communicate the moments effectively so that even if the way we communicate changes in the future, future generations will still be able to understand the past and who we were and are.
We need to think about how we collect the moments and show them at there truest form. That is why I specifically took from the readings the words "There is always a rhythm to the space between things. Pause. Hold the thought. Check the moment. Repeat. Wait, there it goes again. Another moment though. Another pause in the stream of conscious in another abstraction." From that I tried to take what I thought about that collection of words and abstract it into that discussion about insecurities and ways of preparing for the future.
Check the moment.
Repeat. Wait.
There it is again. Another thought.
Another pause.
Another moment lost to the noise around us.
There will always be a rhythm to time, space, sound, pictures, and thoughts.
In our heads.
We collect these moments. These sounds.
With the purpose to save, collect and make memories.
Sound memories. Picture memories. Time and Space memories.
Moments of time that are lost to the past.
To our future selves we worry they will be lost without our effort to collect these moments.
We grasp at straws trying to hold on to the past.
Worried our future won’t be able to understand us.
Who we were in the moment.
To collect these moments is to save ourselves.
To understand ourselves.
To understand is to believe.
To believe we existed in more than the moment.
We worry for our future.
Our future will not be lost because of our inability or failure to save or collect these moments.
Our failure will come from our inability to explain the importance of these moments. To show these moments in the truest of context.
To build from these moments.
We must be able to keep these moments.
Collect these moments.
Communicate the moments.
Check the moment.
Repeat. Wait.
There it is again. Another thought.
Another pause.
Another moment lost to the noise around us.
