Yukako Tanaka’s work focuses on the notion of “existing” and “absence.” Her research fuses art, science and philosophy, reflecting on the human condition in an age shaped by technological change. Recalling the Future offers a multifaceted view of memory and time, moving between macroscopic (universal) and microscopic (private perspectives. The piece considers what it means to exist, as seen from the viewpoint of Tanaka’s grandmother, who suffers from dementia. This interactive projection provides audiences with a tactile sensory experience of the grandmother’s brain, using recorded data scans, whilst envisioning speculative ideas around brain storage and the colonisation of memory.
