About:

Some thoughts are more difficult to articulate than others. “I Forget To Avoid” uses webcam to track the path of a players hand. Players trace, loop, and reveal the thoughts of this person’s mind. Our experience visualizes chasing after runaway thoughts, some of which are funny and easy while others are introspective and harder to reconcile with. The more a player moves, the more activity is tracked… and too much, means the mind overheats. When the pink bar fills all the way up, we start again from an empty brain to retrace her thoughts. Will you be able to understand this person’s mind?
