Parallel Minds (2020)

Neil Napier: Conrad Stallman

Quotes 

• Conrad Stallman : When I was young, we kept our memories in a box - photographs, tapes, mementos. But that box could only hint at what we had experienced. Those worn and torn baubles or suggestions, insinuations of those beloved memories. But I always knew that someday we would improve upon those trinkets and open our eyes to more than we could ever remember. Red Eye is the contact lens that the brilliant team here has perfected in its simplicity. It records not what the eye can see, but what the mind can remember. I invite you to see with me. We are made up of our experiences and of the memories of those experiences. Now your memories are no longer a thing of the past. Be where you remember being. See old friends, family. We harnessed a Universal Recognition Matrix, a URM and put it in Red Eye to bring your memories back. Restore them from the past. So what was... Now is. Your memories are no longer a thing of the past. This is the new Red Eye.

• Margo Elson : What do I need to do?

  Conrad Stallman : The subconscious, place only humans can go. It's your gift, Margo.

  Margo Elson : Or a curse.

• Conrad Stallman : It will die. Like any organism, without stimulation, it will wither and decay. That's the beauty of any living thing, it can't circumvent its own death.

• Margo Elson : As someone told me once that the tracks we leave...

  Conrad Stallman : [completes the quote]  ... is all we have behind us. Yeah, I've heard that, too.
