Spring 2026 - SHORTLISTED

Fragments of Time

Fragments of Time explores memory as an unstable and evolving system shaped by perception, time, and technological mediation. The project began with revisiting camcorder footage recorded by my mother when I was seven years old, where the recorded images and personal memories did not align. This gap became the foundation of the work. Through gesture-based interaction and AI-driven processes, fragmented images are continuously reorganized into a living visual archive. Participants activate the system through movement, generating real-time transformations that reconstruct memory in different forms. Each interaction produces a new version of the past, emphasizing memory as something fluid rather than fixed. Rather than restoring clarity, the project embraces distortion, absence, and transformation as essential conditions of remembering. Combining motion design, generative systems, and spatial interaction, the work creates an environment where memory is experienced as dynamic, interpretive, and continuously redefined.
