Intention

My aim with this project was to create a speculative future in which technology is used to help students get support when they may not seek it themselves. I am torn about how such tools and systems should function as they are on one hand potentially life-saving while on the other hand potentially invasive. I intended to use the power of storytelling to place my audience in this future state, allowing them to sort through the tension between these tradeoffs. This piece relates to memory in that the way an individual's memory of their own wellbeing relates to a system's quantified memory of an individual's wellbeing. I am curious in the contrasting slippages and blindspots inherent in both representations of self.
