"FRAKTUM" The precious moments are unique and special like the usage of a FRAKTUM. Therefore it has to be split into two pieces. By breaking the one piece the other half loads itself with the sensory moment. This captured moment can be set free by just breaking the second half at any time.

"AUDILIM" Giving sounds of special moments a feeling! The AUDILIM intensfies the border between hearing and sounds of a special moment by connecting the experienced moment and the vivid feeling of cold porcelain inside the ear as well as the soundplay when the finger slides over the rough sureface. The captured moment can be carried as a ring.

"SMOME" Time – rest, breathe in, breathe out, breathe The sensitive and overwhelming enjoyment of a SMOME saves the moment into an action. By conciously breathing and the feeling of pure porcelain touching your lips it fulfils the function of carrying memories.

Project description

"Time Witnesses"

Cognitive sciences found out, that humans are able to externalise memories. They can project and load sensory impressions and save these moments forever. So can a unique taste lets us suddenly remember a long ago forgotten experience of our childhood or music hits us with a flashback of a beautiful summer years ago. Externalised Memories are associated with actions and objects that appeal to the senses in a unique, significant way. By experiencing these sensory stimuli the memory is externalized. Through reliving these sensory input it is possible to bring back “forgotten” memories years later. In this project we did research on how this knowledge is relevant for the design of products. Is it possible to deliberately save memories so that they are only readable by the owner of the memory? What does it mean for the design of objects that are capable of doing so?

The objects called “Time Witnesses” examine three ways of how to load moments into objects and by this preserve them for the future. All three share the same dialectic of remembrance recording and release but when they do they need to be made of different applications and decisions. They are not only the witnesses of a moment, but also of a design approach which in addition to the human cognition opens a new way of thinking.
