We’re going all the way back to 2009 for this week’s Throwback Thursday look at past projects developed at Goldsmiths Computing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Scan_Memories<\/em> project investigated 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.<\/p>\n

Developed at Goldsmiths by Miguel Andres-Clavera and Inyong Cho, the project used radio-frequency ID<\/a>, mobile and multimedia technologies to give people a gate to keep an emotional relation with the deceased person.<\/p>\n

Clavera and Cho said: “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.”<\/p>\n
