INTRO

Our lives are increasingly shaped by digital memories. From fleeting photos to life- shaping conversations, these memories give form to our sense of self and belonging.

Today, technology allows us to capture, revisit, and reinterpret these moments, but the ways we organise and share our digital traces often remain fragmented or fragile. As platforms evolve or, even worst, vanish, so do crucial parts of our stories.

Beyond preservation, there is a growing need to rethink how our digital memories can be actively shared, understood, and passed on, helping to shape both our personal identities and our collective legacies for the future.

BRIEF

Design an interactive solution (physical, digital, or hybrid) that redefines how we engage with and transmit our digital memories across time and generations. Move beyond conventional approaches such as simple storage, cloud lockers, or social feeds to imagine new ways of making digital memories meaningful, accessible, and shareable.

Begin with research: analyse existing solutions and examine how people currently curate, save, revisit, and share their digital footprints. Identify gaps, tensions, or untapped opportunities in how memories connect individuals, families, and communities.

Your proposal should address not only issues of security and access, although these are important, but also consider the emotional, cultural, and social value of digital memories.

It should enable people to shape, narrate, and share their stories in rich, enduring, and intergenerational ways, while remaining technologically feasible. Support your design directions with insights from user behaviour and market analysis. Clearly articulate how your approach enriches the experience of digital memory in contemporary life.
