If These Walls Could Speak: Tangible Memories

If These Walls Could Speak provides an alternative memory storage system using tangible objects versus the written words common in diaries. Using river rocks as a memory token, a user can listen to past audio memories stored in the stones, or record their own new ones. This piece explores new forms in tangible memory collection and retrieval by allowing users to store their memories in a physical object. In this way, the project contributes to the development of ubiquitous tagging and computing as an aide for sharing and preserving stories.
