Abstract:
Social media, digital diaries, and self-tracking tools allow us to store and share reflections and memories. However, with the large amount of data it gets messy, unstructured and becomes a disorganized collection of links and data entries. This paper was inspired by creative projects like Hereafter AI , Story worth , Digital Diaries which tried to re-imagine a way to store and interact with memories by shifting from long lists of data to a more structured and interactive way prompting reflection. This paper explored studies on memory and reflection, and existing projects that foster reflection. Based on that, we came up with a proposal of a design concept with the goal to generate a discussion on designing technology for embodied cognition that facilitates reflection. Technology that not only allows us to store memories, but also reflectively interact with them.
