How do we make sense of memory and human experience, whether in everyday life or in conditions of conflict and crisis? How do we investigate, aggregate, organize and act on visceral, sensory and dynamic phenomena that are not easily digitized, classified and archived? From the everyday experience of walking in the city, to contested memories of war and conflict, to artistic interventions and dialogues, to the performance of bodies in urban space, experiences, memories and expressions often require multi-modal representations, diverse interpretations, as well as non-linear, parallel and relational framing in order to be organized. In this course, we will explore the design of “living collections” of experiences, memories and expressions by examining theoretical constructs, ideas and practices from the humanities/social sciences, computation/information design, and the visual/performing arts.
