Project Details
Description
MemoryMechanics is an interactive sound installation that explores how we as humans embody memories.
The installation is based on an archive of memories collected from different people by guiding them through sensory experiences and into physical poses that trigger embodied memories. Their recorded memories are then stored in the installation for retrieval by imitating their initial poses.
Artificial intelligence is used to record and retrieve memories from the archive. Through the installation, a synergy between human memory and computer memory appears. Artificial intelligence creates a mediated physical space in which the audience can walk around, position themselves in poses and hear the intimate stories of previous participants.
This project has been created with researchers at Roskilde University Center as an ongoing investigation into the connection between the body, mediated experiences and phenomenological approaches to design research.
