Dahhmenn memories series on paper, Newburgh, NY, 2023
Sensory memory is the initial stage of memory processing, where sensory data from the environment is briefly held concisely.
It acts as a buffer between the sensory input and the working memory.
It involves different modalities, such as iconic memory for visual information and echoic memory for auditory information. Sensory memory allows for the continuity of perception and plays a crucial role in attention and perception processes. However, the data is quickly forgotten if not transferred to the next stage, working memory.
It is the loss of information that I imagined with this series.
