Investigating memory: Brainstorm how i share my memories. Exploring different ways that I record and share memories. Certain aspects are hidden even from oneself: one may not be aware of them because one is not focusing on them. The quantified self could act as a mediating lens if a filter is applied to draw attention to aspects of life which could then be designed for or be a subject on intervention.
Group brainstorm: a way to collect and explore group ideas. All members were able to view previous members input. Conducted with three people.
This topic: Why do we remember some things and not others. What was learnt: themes: trauma, association/isolation, short term vs long influence, importance, respect of a person creating a memory, how much attention is paid.
Question: Why are some memories more important to use than others. What was learnt: Themes: Who the memory is about i.e. family, determined by its relation to other aspects of our lives, does the memory simulate nostalgia i.e. triggers i.e. smell triggers
Which memories are important to you? Put a tick by a point if you agree with one that's already there. This incorporated a quantitative factor which was very useful visually to get a general consensus on key themes. Family formed a central part of all respondents important memories.
