(sorry for bad english) I guess that this really is more of a philosophical question in a way, and I really like to educate myself in subjects this way, but I think that when you lift subjects to philosophy it gets easier to continue with practice and such. The question is, and this is going to depend by the way you put together your memory palaces, create mnemonic images and the such; but the question is still as important: What art is memory the most alike? Is the placing and creation of images more as a theater, painting a painitng or directing an orchestra?

To me it is a bit like the art of making comic books.

In what way?
Comics bridge the normal universe with the universe of pure imagination. We can enjoy the ontology of the normal universe stretched, twisted and humorously exaggerated in ways that are sensational and memorable. The rules of the universe are changed, but not just randomly, rather artistically. I still remember comics from childhood. The artist’s designs made that possible.

I was wondering if I would give another answer but I think comic books fit the bill.
You have to imagine (draw the scenes), you have to combine the elements to make a mnemonic (build story lines). And to a certain extent, the characters you use acquire a backstory and a personality, sometimes doing things that the author didn’t expect or hadn’t planned for, which is a common experience of many writers.

I’d have to say film and video games. Painting and writing are candidates too, depending on the method used.

All of it. You might like reading Lynne Kelly’s books, Memory Code, Memory Craft. Goes into the history of how memory techniques were used in conjunction with the arts

I highly recommend those too, especially Memory Craft, if you’re looking for application of the techniques. The Knowledge Gene is also great.

For me it’s like drawing or painting. You are creating images.
