Carol Rifelj Lecture Series: The Story Behind "Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory"

Sponsored by:
Dean of Faculty

“Witness Marks: Anatomy of a Memory” is a multi-media installation, premiering at the Kent Museum, in Calais, VT, in September, in which I explore how we create, store, and access memory. While there have been theories of how the brain works for millennia, we only have accurate imagery of brain structures based on dissection spanning from the 1860s (drawings by scientists Deiters, Golgi, Bevan-Lewis, and Dejerine, to name a few), to Ramon y Cajal’s drawings of neurons (1899 – 1930s), all the way to the colorful and beautiful photo imagery of neuronal circuits generated by supercomputers.
