Unknowable

A hypothetical archive exhibit as a product of my senior thesis research into modes of communication and linguistic translation theory in design thinking.

I mocked up one instance of the archive by randomly generating 100 dates, pulling photos either taken by or of me on those dates, and tagging them all with attributes like months, years, locations, and subjects. These traits allowed connections to be drawn and trends to manifest. In the full exhibit version, these photos would constantly refresh to paint a living portrait of a person and their life while also emphasising the inherent folly of that quest.

This project was featured in the 2023 International Design Education Expo and Conference in Seoul, South Korea among students from design programs worldwide. You can visit that site here.
