Kıymet Daştan tells about Oblivion Stones! 

I Am Afraid To (Not) Forget derives from my experimentation with melting discs -archival devices that now are becoming obsolete- creating pseudo-geological, crystalline disfigurements, highlighting the material and metaphorical ties between thick geological layers and today’s speeded-up technologies. These discs include CDs, DVDs, Archival Gold CDs-DVD’s, M-Discs, and others.
"Taking off from the evocative patterns I traced along the Beirut National Museum and the Beirut Mineral Museum, ancient sites, and disappearing pirated video stores in Beirut, this process traces the way material conditions, human societies, and media technologies shape how memory is recorded, preserved, replaced or erased."
Artist Kıymet Daştan explains the creative and production process of the work from the Crystal Clear exhibition!
