Le lieu de la mémoire is a tribute to Todd Silver, an American artist who combines art (plastic arts) with science (brain research.) To the beat of the songy We Are the New Age, three female perfomers use Silver's works and a silica mine to form a new context for pictorial and mineral elements. The video images produced by certain bodily movements impart to the notion of perfomance many concrete qualities.

Ce vidéo est un hommage à l'artiste américain Todd Solver, un artiste qui allie démarches artistique et scientifique. Au rythme de la chanson We Are The New Age, trois performeuses juxtaposent les oeuvres de l'artiste et une mine de silice. Elles établissent de la sorte un nouveau contexte aux éléments picturaux et minéraux. Des personnages exécutent une série d'actions, tel un vidéoclip où les images vidéographiques concrétisent la notion de performativité.
La performance a été donnée initialement dans le cadre du spectacle inter-disciplinaire Via Memoria.
