Memories for Futures

Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT), DAS research group (JP)

Memories for Futures is a multi-modal art installation based on data collected by Azusakawachi residents. It shows local stories and narratives interwoven with 3D scans of objects in the village made with a technique called Gaussian Splatting. The artwork will be shown at the Open Futurelab, where a part of the exhibition is specifically dedicated to Data Art & Science. It includes other DAS artworks, process presentations, and activities organized by local Shiga stakeholders.

Memories for Future is a part of the wider collaborative Data Art & Science (DAS) project with Toyota Coniq Alpha and Shiga University. This project aims to research and develop DAS as a methodology and explore the possibility of utilizing DAS to study the local revitalization of the Shiga prefecture in Japan.
