How can we extend synthetic memories into immersive space? How can immersive technologies help preserve or recreate undocumented memories — particularly for marginalized communities? Our focus was on Alzheimer’s patients and refugees whose visual histories had been lost or undocumented.
Working alongside Barcelona based research studio, Domestic Data Streamers, and a small interdisciplinary team, I began by gathering memory narratives through interviews. My role centered on translating these verbal stories into early speculative visuals using generative AI tools (such as MidJourney and Stable Diffusion) and then devoloping the immersive experience in Unity using C# scripting to integrate AI-generated assets into interactive memory-scapes, designing both the visual experience and the underlying logic.
This project was presented at LA’s Flux Festival and offers a groundbreaking approach to archiving experiences, challenging traditional documentation methods and expanding the possibilities of storytelling, cultural memory, and digital heritage in the age of AI-driven creativity.
Together, we explored how memory could be represented not as a static image, but as an emotional and spatial experience.
