The architecture of gaze in the memory theatre Pasiphili – Pandektiki Avli – Epochesthe + 2 memory theatres, (a mnemonic architecture project)

In the classical art of memory, as handed over to us by the orators of antiquity, a system of places (loci) and images of objects (imagines) are the means through which artificial memory of things can be constructed and preserved.<br>

The art of memory is like an inner writing: as people who know how to write can store on paper specific knowledge, so experts in the art of memory remember their speech, by placing in imaginary buildings extraordinary images that correspond to the conceptual or verbal points of their narration. According to the classic treatise on rhetoric, known as Rhetorica Ad Herennium, places refer to the surface on which a text is written (wax writing-tablets), whereas images of objects refer to the letters which are inscribed on the surface. The orator visits, in his imagination, one by one, the architectural places in which he has placed the images that refer to the concepts or words of his speech. These places can be used over and over again like a blackboard in order to record new contents.
