“The crisis of memory in technical culture is not merely that we forget, but that memory itself is now increasingly shaped by the logic of technical systems—no longer by individual or collective needs.”
— Bernard Stiegler, Technics and Time
From technology assisting our memory to technology determining what we remember, Becoming of Memory uses speculative fiction to imagine a future where, after digital collapse, memory becomes a limited and regulated resource. By constructing a fictional archival system, the project becomes a metaphor for how capital, technology, and institutional power reshape both individual and collective memory. In an age of data overload, the work materializes the processes of memory valuation and erasure through interactive interfaces, sculptural forms, and immersive sound narration, provoking critical reflection on technological dependence, systemic authority, and the fragility of human experience.
