Gather their traces
Upload the material that holds a person inside it: home videos, photographs, voice notes, emails and scans of handwritten letters.
Upload the material that holds a person inside it: home videos, photographs, voice notes, emails and scans of handwritten letters.
The archive studies the small particulars—turns of phrase, recurring stories, a sense of humour, the pauses between words—and weaves them into one model.
When the time comes, open a private conversation. Ask the questions you never asked. Hear an answer in the voice you remember.
Start with anything. A photograph with writing on the back. A birthday video. A long email. A recipe in their hand. There is no correct order for remembering someone.
