It explored the process of remembering through physical media such as recordings, photographs and film; the power of sound to solicit memory; and the transience of both memory and media. It involved video interviews and oral histories with the residents, and audio recordings of sounds that were a significant part of their memories.
Co-directed by Rob Strachan (Institute of Popular Music) and commissioned by Tennantspin, The Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) and Arena Housing, the project resulted in a digital archive and an installation at FACT, one of the UK’s leading digital arts institutions.
