“…The focus on the digital mediation of memories also sheds new light on the fact that our everyday worlds, in a more general sense, are swamped with mnemonic media and memory artifacts. These artifacts comprise cities (e.g., Boyer, 1996), landscapes (e.g., Assmann, 1992), nations (Olick, 2003), public places of commemoration (Assmann, 1999), and personal mementos (e.g., Petrelli, Whittaker, & Brockmeier, 2008).…”

In this paper I make the case that the notion of memory—the very idea that there is a particular capacity that enables us to remember, to store, and to recall experiences and knowledge, and that in doing so constitutes an essential part of our existence—is in the midst of dissolving. I explore this dissolution of ‘memory’ as an epistemological and cultural paradigm shift. This shift can be observed in a broad spectrum of scientific and scholarly developments and, moreover, in literary, artistic, and public discourses. What all of these have challenged is the idea of memory as storage, an archive. I review four areas of research whose results and debates have fuelled this ‘memory crisis’: the social and cultural, the technological, the literary and the artistic, and the biological and cognitive. At the same time, we find in all these fields emerging perspectives that reach beyond the idea of memory as an archive, offering visions of more open, fleeting, social and cultural practices of remembering and forgetting.

“…As such, we identify strongly with research considering existing practices of archiving objects [17,29,47], photos [30], records and collections [59]. These studies of existing practice have been valuable as a counterpoint to the challenges of lifelogging with a particular system or technology.…”

Smart journals are both an emerging class of lifelogging applications and novel digital possessions, which are used to create and curate a personal record of one's life. Through an in-depth interview study of analogue and digital journaling practices, and by drawing on a wide range of research around 'technologies of memory', we address fundamental questions about how people manage and value digital records of the past. Appreciating journaling as deeply idiographic, we map a broad range of user practices and motivations and use this understanding to ground four design considerations: recognizing the motivation to account for one's life; supporting the authoring of a unique perspective and finding a place for passive tracking as a chronicle. Finally, we argue that smart journals signal a maturing orientation to issues of digital archiving.

“…Media interaction within the home is explored in a broader scope within HCI, for example to support remembering or for social bonding. Home is a shared place, in which objects of memory take a crucial role (Petrelli, Whittaker & Brockmeier, 2008). In this context, objects are used for comfort, as conversation starter and to display identity (Petrelli, Whittaker & Brockmeier, 2008).…”

Reflection is of increasing interest in HCI as it has many potential benefits in design, education and everyday life. In this paper, we explore media-supported reflection through the design and deployment of three concepts. In contrast to prevalent reflective approaches that are based on system-collected data, we explore how user-created media can support personal reflection. Three interactive prototypes were developed, focusing on different modalities: Balance uses audio, Cogito uses text, and Dott uses visual media. We evaluate these concepts in an in-thewild study that is both explorative and comparative. We found that the open-ended systems primarily supported reflection during the creation of media and that the use depended on opportunity and triggers. We conclude the paper with a discussion of our findings regarding the method and the implications of our findings for the broader area of design for reflection.
