Why show memories in ((. mOv))?

Because it is on the basis of these individual memories that we create collectivity, a memory that agglomerates the individualities and take them into consideration. Each of the videoart in ((. Mov)), are representations of individualities and at the moment of being part of the sample they will be part of a whole. What will say to us that whole? What collective memory will go out of this experiment?
