MONITORING MEMORIES translates digital memories into an analogue object in the form of a postcard. Digital monitoring and data collection create records, filters and displays according to the interests of its user.

In order to leave our world to enter the digital world, the visitor will need a connecting element: ”Connection Chips” help to cope with the digital world. They respond to the different needs of our inhabitants and protect them from total monitoring. Three different types of ”Connection Chips” have been developed.

The “One-Day-Connection” allows the inhabitants to shop in the digital world. It works as a means of payment and protects them against unwanted connections. The chip records the digital history of the whole trip for analysis.

For a vacation in the digital world, we recommend the ”Holiday-Connection”. It allows one to pay in the digital world, to find one’s way and to use the health care system in case of an emergency.

To work in the digital world, there is the “Work-Connection”. It enables one to connect with the workplace so that you can continue working without restrictions. The chip establishes a means of payment, a salary account, and health insurance.

This work was developed in cooperation with
Valentina Recheis and Vera Tolazzi.
