The repetition of experience

For the past week I have been looking into and trying to understand what underlying link there might be about what I could/should focus on when it comes to someones experience. As of right now my project is still broad. I have been a bit practical (outside of reading the book Technology as Experience) by playing around with videos and giving a repetition to certain parts that for me I remember distinctly when recalling them. I see a lot of "re" work happening around experience and technologies use for it. We like to remember past memories and repeat them to others, we capture a moment with our camera to relive later and we try to recreate historical events to gather understanding from them.

This isn't a big lead to go with but it gives me a better purpose for experience. Someone who works with a similar use of repetition in image is a freelancer called Cyriak. Although his work does not necessarily aim for the users experience, it does flow and move visually with how I could consider a person recalls memory. Especially when that memory becomes distorted from over remembrance.
