I’m interested in exciting scientific examples of memory in the ocean, but as a humanist, I’m also interested in how the ocean might change the way(s) that we think about memory. This question is closely related to the topic of my first book, Wild Blue Media, which works through the literary and philosophical implications of imagining media concepts (inscription, interface, database) underwater. During the first two iterations of the OM workshops, I gave a talk on common metaphors of memory/cognition, and also led a short workshop on writing science fiction inspired by Ursula LeGuin’s story “The Author of Acacia Seeds.” I am currently a member of the group collaborating on the “Descent and Transformation” project.
