Scavenger Hunt is part of MNEMONIC DEVICES. It examines the e-rhetoric of 'connection' and the collective memory of the web. The two on-site web stations (laptops on opposite ends of a table that resembles the seesaw) allow people to play a scavenger hunt game with each other or people in remote locations. It asks a series of questions that are answered via a search engine. The one who finds all the answers first wins.

Photographs, home movies, and today's digital media inform the way we remember and interact with one another. They extend and even become our memories. This installation and its accompanying performance attempt to pose questions about patterns of 'memory' and interaction, contrasting electronic technologies to age-old bodily methods. What is enabled and what is lost? MNEMONIC DEVICES explores these questions in an installation that resembles a media saturated playground.
