Machinae Memoriae
A foray into AI generated memories, Machinae Memoriae is comprised from a database of more than 1,200 pictures. These moments have been captured over 20 years and contain woodland trips, dinners with friends, sunsets by the coast and things that occurred during those halcyon days. These images are now narrating new stories, generating new memories from old tales.

Using as a Database my digitized family photo archive. Covering more than 20 years of life circa 1977 to 1997. I recreated a mockup of a possible Photobook Digital Experience where the user can fly in the mind of the Machine and interact with the pictures. Each cluster represent one event with the relative memories. Keywords and sounds functions as triggers.
Researcher and Psychologist Lila Davachi believes that time is memory. If our eventual desire is to get more time, all we are looking for in the end is to gain more memories. Considering that Photobooks are the most common ways for us to “store” memories, I feed GANs (Generative Algorithm Networks) with old photos to create new memories.
