Contrary to those who, sitting in front of the TV, drinking all the information they are bombarded by unnecessary-and, in a futile attempt to defend them selvs, jumping from one channel to another, from the futility of futility, the Internet user jump from page to page, building a picture of the world. A thought in the world. For this reason, the world seems to suddenly reduced to a few thousand pages that has been piled up in his memory.
Unlike television, which is a passive viewer of the action, the user of the Internet, acts at will, jumping from one page to another in search of something. Even if he doesn't find anything, has built a mental journey, a journey through the virtual world. This trip, which was sheded corners of memory, loss of images, sounds, words, short sentences, such as small cards, forgotten in a drawer waiting to be rediscovered.
These are the forgotten memories of those virtual travel FONLAD Festival tries to retrieve from the memory artists, challenging them to produce art projects based on these experiences.
