ScanMemories

Miguel Andrés-Clavera, PhD Student

The Scan_Memories project investigates how new technology can create or participate in the process of reconstructing memories in comparison with the existing way of remembering the deceased and being remembered by the bereaved.

The project uses RFID, mobile and multimedia technologies, and aims to give people a gate to keep an emotional relation with the deceased person. The project opens a heterogeneous and direct access to the memories materialized in physical spaces and in objects connected with the dead, presenting the dialectic between constructed formations based on presence and absence, and memory reconstruction through patterns technology mediated.
