Memory Architecture Project






Hi Guys,
Sorry I couldn't be there at the final critique, must have been fun.
Anyway for my memory architect I decided to integrate my avatar concept of gestural/audio memory fragmentation with an environmental resonance.

The whole concept applies to 'remembering people in your own way' involving a self-attuned stylistic implementation. The inspiration came from a person capable of remembering the order of cards just by looking at them. He substitutes each card by a person he knew and creates a mental storyline involving himself meeting them in a progressive fashion.

My architecture involves a table (an area which tends to bring others into our own physical space) The seats contain scripts(I didn't create them yet, but one day when I know more about it I'll perhaps continue the project) that start up an audio file (when the avatar sits down) of a typical family get together (specifically my family) involving their quirks, their behavior, their way they communicate, etc. in a way to bring about the specific memory of their social interactions. Each seat (there's 4) has a script of a single person, if 4 different avatars sit then the dialog of each person can be heard.
