MNEMOSYNE

WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

Mapping emotions


A map is a way to organize information and what excites us takes a special place in our memory. With Mnemosyne, we map an area based on the emotional experiences of the individuals who live there, and in this way, identify and connect spaces based on the feelings they’ve aroused in people.

HOW IT WORKS

The emotions of places


Through workshops and interviews, we develop installations that serve as a collection of stories connected with the places they occur and act as powerful tools for storytelling. The simplicity of the utilized materials allows for outsiders to recognize themselves in the installations and to be more willing to accept the perspectives and experiences of others. The feedback we collect most often from visitors is “I now really feel like I’ve been to those places.”

APPLICATIONS

A means of
gathering, engaging with, and amplifying communities


Mnemosyne has several applications ranging from developing a sense of belonging and creating team cohesion to designing future scenarios.

Mnemosyne has been used as part of Cu’N’Fu, a social awareness project in the Mirafiori neighborhood of Turin and has also been used to map Italy as experienced by patients, caregivers and clinicians involved in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
