Memory

Art Film

Runtime 2:30

Anna Woch, Canada

A poetic evocation of how memories unfold and reconfigure. The film’s canvas - a blend of hand drawings and live action - is illuminated by animation that follows the laws of quantum mechanics.

About the physics: The moving light in the film is a simulation of a particle’s wave function, described by the Schrödinger equation and interacting with potential barriers in a 2D box. The simulation is scientifically accurate, though the potential barriers - defined by the hand drawing - are an artistic choice.
