Aesthetics for Forgetting

"e;Keaton Fox's thesis, Aesthetics for Forgetting, is an anthropologic fever dream into the psyche of gaslighting. Keaton's dive into perceptions in media and memory crosses academia with lived experience via personal artifact, current events, and the narratives of dreams. Aesthetics for Forgetting presents as a mind map of a collection of data, similarly to the way we may store knowledge in our minds. Tangled, coming from as many different places as it is going, Fox is giving us a voyeuristic tour of her thoughts and creative process. As you read, cadence comes as threads repeat, tie, and web a bigger, poetic picture. Written in the second person, the thesis is but a monologue. She is writing to herself in affirmation so she won t forget."e;Description by Renee Silva
