Memory Palimpsest
2016: James Addison
In social situations, meaningful interactions are often dependent on players’ relatability between memories and past experiences in order to create and grow connections. Drawing from research on intimacy and anonymity in social situations, Memory Palimpsest is a game that addresses how a physical object can trigger shared memories as a means to develop new social interactions.
