Object personification & agendas

I am very interested in how objects can tap into memory streams, and interpret them in different ways. Objects are an extension of the owner, and can create novel ways of interpreting experiences to benefit the user, and possibly to also project the identity of the user. I am interested in how these objects can then interact with other objects and create memory streams of their own. I am interested in what information can be collected, innovative ways to interpret or subvert it in and then to 'tap in' to other users objects and affect them. Then to be able to view what is made. Agendas in objects also interest me; how their form affects us.

Objects create memories constantly, and we have associations which spark memories. Objects have 'agendas' whether this is overt ie. a functional use, or covert i.e. a function which is designed to secretly help us, or hinder us. I am interested in personifying objects and treating them as more than inanimate objects; how they can interact with people in new ways. Both non interactive and interactive objects create memories. I am most interested in items which people are often in contact with or have emotional connections with.
