.>. Value of Memory
History is learned intellectually, less so experientially.
History, often, is _institutional_.

The Last Angel of History - by John Akomfrah
Memory is DIY
Anyone can make a memory.
Memories are our record of experiences.
Memory is fallible.
What would cyberpunk sousveillance mean for memory?
Surveillance & Sousveillance - Capturing Experience on "Tape."
Georgia police officers were looking for a man named Michael Clay when they approached a man named Patrick Mumford, ordering him to state his name. . . . . so Mumford told him his name was “Patrick.” In fact, Mumford repeated his first name in case the officer missed it the first time around.
Cameras (both surveilance and sousveillance) record our experiences.
Memory is fallible.
Memory is a "technology" that could generate empathy.
Empathy: "What if that experience was my experience?"
