Design Fiction: Social Media - MINDSPACE

This project was a Critical Design study, produced in the context of the course "Zukunftsforschung und -entwicklung im Critical Design" at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam. 

It dealt with the notion that social media is giving people a variety of new ways to express themselves and share their emotions. We posed the question "what would a medium look like, that is streamlined toward sharing experiences as detailed as possible?". 

We hypothesise that the most direct and comprehensive way of sharing an experience from one human to another would be memory transfer. We imagined a future, in which a technology exists that can decode our memories into data-sequences, which can then can be "pasted" onto another human's memory by attaching a kind of transponder to the forehead, assuming that all human experiences are built from roughly the same building blocks. The effect of "playing" someone else's memory in your own head would broadly speaking feel the same as remembering your own memories. This device would correspond with an interface that people use to activate the device and to access other people's memories. 

This project is our idea of what the interface would look like, that people use to access each other memories.
