Memory Nodes
Memory Nodes is an interactive installation, developed as part of the LMCC Swing Space residency in late 2007.
As an installation, there are two primary ways to participate with Memory Nodes. First, you can call a phone number (currently offline), and leave a memory. It can be anything from a personal memory, a funny story, or something that recently happened to you which you'd like to share anonymously. Second, when you enter the installation space, by walking up and touching any one of the memory nodes, you will unlock a memory hidden within, which will then sound out throughout the space. Multiple memories can be released at the same time, allowing a mix and recombination of people's memories in a unified space.
This project is a step towards a larger memory project, developed as a way for people to store their memories in a physical entity. Each of us have personal artifacts, which we carry with us as we move throughout time and space. This project aims at giving items through a period of time the opportunity to collect, impart, and distort information about their owners and users. Its a hands-on experience for viewers in an installation space, as they are able to see and hear into objects. Subsequently, while experiencing more about the artifacts in the space, they add to the future record through their interaction with that object.
