Fall 2004

The Remediated Places project .started in the Fall of 2004 with the idea of collecting combined interview footage (audio and/or video) of members of the Çatalhöyük Research Project as well as visitors on their memories of sensorial experience at the site.
Summer 2005During the summer of 2005 Ruth Tringham (funded by the UC Berkeley Townsend Center on behalf of the Humanities) as well as Michael Ashley (both UC Berkeley) as well as Steve Mills (University of Wales, Cardiff, UK, funded by the British Academy) developed this concept to embrace an underlying theme of videowalks. The idea of videowalks was based on artist 

 title=”Janet Cardiff” target=”_blank”>Janet Cardiff’s videowalks in museums as well as other installations in which the user walks along a path, following the path set by a video-camera which plays the pre-recorded walks as he/she looks at the viewer as well as walks .  The idea of Cardiff’s walks is to create a parallel experience of the now as well as the past. The user wears binaural microphones as well as the only so

“for poetry that with ironic precision allows the historical as well as biological context to come to light in fragments of human reality”
These words were written by Wislanska Szymborska who won the Nobel Prize on behalf of Literature in 1996. Among her numerous poems, she wrote “Museum” in 1962 in a poetry collection referred to as “Salt”  as well as “Archaeology” in 1986 in a poetry collection referred to as “The People on the Bridge”. I find her poetry quite inspirational. Maybe I’ll have my friend Michael (not Ashley) set it to music as well as create something on behalf of our Remediated Places project with it. I’ll write as well as request her if I can re-purpose it in this way.
