Pre Orders for 1001 Accurate Memories Now Open

From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

alexhead.com/bookstore

In 1001 Accurate Memories Berlin artist Alex Head presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate. 

Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy. 

Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.

There are no special giveaways for pre ordering. The goal is to increase the print run from 100 to 150/200 copies. Each sale creates proportionally more and more copies!

Released first on #Mastodon

Dispatched April-May.

Cover and reverse cover of 1001 Accurate Memories book project by artist Alex Head, on Plural Studio (2025). The Image shows a blurred black and white image of a grinning face turning towards the left hand spine of the front cover of the book. One can also see five distinct hexagons of red, blue and yellow tones arranged to the right of the cover image. The Image also shows the same blurred black and white image from the front cover of the book, now on the back cover. However where the descriptive text would usually be presented on the back of the book a large black rectangle has replaced it save for the caption: From traumatic memory culture to learning with bodies

Nerdy question for #Firefox #Mac folks - I have a brand new Mac Mini which I just noticed is topping out its memory usage according to Activity Monitor... with "FireFox CP Isolated Web Content"

This never happened on the iMac with the same amount of memory, and same open tabs in FF. It was so bad, that trying to move a disk icon gave me the #SBBOD.

This is not the only one of these processes, and I assume it's from a FF tab, but does anyone else see this behavior? I suppose I'm going to have to delete all my tabs and add them back in one at a time... Thanks for any direction.

a few notes on a Linda Rising's talk

"Realize up front that this is hard".

Cognitive dissonance: contradictory "evidence" causes severe cognitive discomfort.

* We are not rational decision-makers
* but we are good at explaining after-the-fact why we made a decision – a pattern called rationalization.

Two thirds of people will not consider an idea until "somebody they know pretty well, is doing it, is happy with it, talks about it […] so maybe i might think about it".
To convince,
* you must address: "What's in it for me?" – requires empathy;
* you can use the values of your opponent. (Loyalty or fairness?)

A pattern of personal touch: walk a mile in the other's shoes
Another pattern: "Give it a try"
Another pattern: listen
Another pattern: ask for something personal

I wonder where do the opinions that times were better in the past are coming from? What makes us think that past is better and the present sucks? Is it some kind of a selective memory? Is it because we were younger and full of hope? Or is it true? But I think every generation says these things, so is the world getting worse? Or people are just getting older and bitter?

Just noticed that one of the earlier posts I know that discuss "memory safety" is noe gone. I found "What is memory safety" by Michael Hicks (2014) a lucid write-up since it discusses the squishiness of the concept, before going to to propose a capability model. Luckily still available on wayback machine.
