Memory vs The Camera (And here's what I learned)

Описание: Episode 4: Memory vs The Camera

We live in an age where the camera remembers more than we do. But what happens when the photo replaces the memory?

In this video essay, I explore the tension between memory and the camera: why we sometimes forget the moment but remember taking the picture, how psychology and philosophy predicted this problem long before smartphones, and what cinema can teach us about preserving—or losing—our inner lives.

From Plato’s warnings about writing, to Susan Sontag’s thoughts on photography, to films like Memento, La Jetée, Caché, and Rashomon — this is a journey into how technology changes the way we experience time, feeling, and truth.

🎥 Topics in this episode:

The photo-taking impairment effect in psychology
Philosophy’s early warnings about external memory
How cinema mirrors and manipulates memory
Why film theory questions the “truth” of images
How to live more intentionally in a world saturated with cameras

This isn’t just about photography. It’s about the way we live now — and what we might be losing in the pursuit of capturing everything.

If you’ve ever looked back at a photo and realised you can’t remember what it felt like to be there — this one’s for you.
