Forgotten Objects

Allow user to forget negative aspects of a memory.

This project will be a video that demonstrates a garbage can that can help a person to forget someone by removing all digital traces of them be it on Facebook, old photos, old messages, and even the most obscure traces like Pokemon GO.

FILE masks painful memories until the user recognizes their want to realize them in their full truth, allowing the user to learn from that experience.

The goal of the project is to reframe the emotional process of forgetting an ex-love. Rather than going through the painful process alone, the viewer is able to visualize how their intention to forget is helping them grow. A person must first upload and delete digital possessions from their past relationship to the plant interface. Once they've let the possessions go, the plant will be able to receive water, fertilizer, light, etc.

We want to explore designing a digital hybrid object that would allow someone to forget and accept these painful memories through the act of transformation.

An immersive memory experience for letting go.
