OCT 26-28 | EXHIBITION | GREY SPACE IN THE MIDDLE
A visual exploration into digital forgetting and data mining
For an entire year María Molina Peiró carried a wearable camera taking a photo every 30 seconds. The enormous collection of photos collected by the camera are shown in an online archive which instead of “remembering” creates a creative forgetting of the vast photo archive. One Year Life Strata proposes a visual metaphor of forgetting by transforming the digital images into what is likely the ultimate memory trace that will remain from us: The geological record. The project, in a sort of digital geology, mines the data from the strata and invites the viewer to investigate one year of María Molina Peiró’s life through an Artificial Intelligence vision system which doesn’t care about the personal memories included on those photos, but in the collection of patterns and numbers they contain.
