Context

Behavioral data capturing tools and data mining technologies beget new kinds of ethnographic
stories, mechanisms for storytelling. This project is about telling narratives extracted from captured data, but also about designing where these narratives are communicated (outside of a gallery or publication) and the effect they have. That is to say, we are interested in exploring new kinds of technologically-enabled narrative feedback loops, and where these loops could form qualitatively new experiences as part of the fabric of (future) everyday life.

  

Questions in mind

How can we leverage new forms of social media, behavior and environmental sensors, etc. to craft novel and insightful multi-vocal narratives? Considering a future context of a radically hybridized environment, how could novel multi-vocal narrative systems—custom networks of sensors, data processing, and displays—create new kinds of narrative experiences as part of our day-to-day lives

  

The framework - exploring collective experiences

Before we embarking on researches and referencing of any kind, we would love to frame our project as an exploration on collective experiences through the study and design of spaces, and through telling stories of a collaborative memory.
