apophenia and recursive moments

Last week, i joined a friend and some of his friends to see a DJ spin. We ended up at the Rx Gallery which made me smile since i had last been there for the Urban Probes event. We both had the eerie feeling that we should know people in that room, given the music and the vibe, yet we did not know anyone other than those we went with. Upon penetrating the packed room, i found Brian Knep's Healing installation which gave me a fantastic grin, remembering hours spent playing with Anya at SIGGRAPH (she was obsessed with Healing and i knew Brian from college). Another piece at Rx struck my fancy, as folks tried to dance in front of it for it to record their patterns. I forgot about this, but i was reading Caterina's post where she referenced Scott Snibbe, another old Brown pal. I surfed to his site only to find an image of Deep Walls, the exhibit from Rx. The whole point of this project is to create cinematic memories and i couldn't help but think about how reading this injected recursive memories into my headspace, as i spiraled into all directions brought on by finding these, bridging connections over time, place and intention. I love apopheniac moments.
