Exploring 'I was here'...

Sketchbook ideation work to explore the concept of 'I was here' further.


I explored  the different type of architectures that transient memory can encompass: ONE-ONE, ONE-MANY, MANY-MANY. ONE-ONE can also be between a person and themselves.  There can be single input or multiple inputs which would allow multiple people to interact. Would it stand alone or would there be some element of a surveillance remote system, This could allow the capture of the memories shared and then reformatting for a website for some other purpose. Questions were posed... Can you manipulate the type of presence? Can you leave anything behind?


There are also the possibility for the different points in a multi-point system to interact with eachother.

Sound was explored: standing next to a device sparks a sound which fades after the person leaves. A distance-seperated architecture was considered which is similar to previous concepts. An element of false memory was introduced to a system where the presence of people at a remote location is visible to people at a seperate location.


Smell was also considered, and a quick drawing of a panel where people can choose their smell, or even a random smell was considered. There was also the concept of 'leaving something behind'; a voice clip., a message or a virtual/tangible 'thing'.
