Artifact Memory
posted by Ryan Rasmussen @ 12:23 pm
Some people view the most important moments of their lives through the aperture of a video camera. Others bookmark their engagement with the world with a flash and a smile upon a still image.
Further, the physical manifestation of note-taking assumes the laborous quality of the physical act of a pen across a page, given its technological alternatives.
This process of creating artifacts for the future has fueled a great deal of curiousity for me.
How will ubiquitous computing augment our ability to store and share personally intimate memories? As the mechanisms for recording our experiences in data streams are coming to life, will a photograph remain as personally moving as a screenshot, an immersive 3d visualization, or a predictive algorhythm for new kinds of temporal interaction?
