Noah Wardrip-Fruin, et al through lines

the Noah Wardrip-Fruin colabiration was an incredible exploration of what we are as human beings, and how our memories and dreams make up what we are. i think that this piece was amazing, to say the least. after viewing it, i cannot stop thinking about the relevance that it has on my own thinking. i personally am obsessed with trying to document my life, and not forget anything. i am paranoid that when i turn 57 years old, i will forget what it was like to be 9. the thought alone makes me want to throw up. after seeing this work, i think i realize that it is natural to consciously forget the past, but still subconsciously be aware of it. while i am aware that i do no explain my self very well, i think i am trying to say that this collaboration tells us that our memory's will always be a factor in our lives...even if it is in our dreams. i think that tis piece could also play a role in determining the question of what is the real world? how do we differentiate the "real world" and our dreams? it is very possible that this blog is not real, and everything around us in our assumed "real world" is not in fact real. i will try not to get into philosophy to much, even though i feel this piece could be interpreted as having to do with our sense of reality, and stream of consciousness. from this idea, i think there are many possible through lines to be drawn. one could have to do with memories. what are memories? and how do they change over time? how could you portray the changing of time, and memories? secondly, how can you portray the difference from the dream world and the "real world"? are they different? is the dream world fake? or is our "real world" fake? thirdly, from a more aesthetic point of view...how does text take an effect on a work of art and the viewer? how can you use to text to convey a certain message without boring the viewer?
