Our principles for addressing digital legacy:

Human-centred and nature-inspired memory preservation

No AI persona imitation of the deceased

Focus on how people remember or deal with the loss of a loved one, instend of solving dead as it was a problem.

Inspiration

We knew we wanted to create something focused on the collection and preservation of information. Our goal was to reconcile the processes of collection, preservation, and legacy.

The tokyo toilets

The approach to intervening in the city for a human act inspired us to create a ritual around this idea, seeking a way to highlight an activity as common as remembering.

Being remembered for our passions and our work can be just as important as remembering a voice or a face. It’s essential to remember the things that shaped us.

A locket that can forget

The idea of letting go always seemed important to us. Using technology as an assistant to navigate grief, rather than fostering unhealthy attachment.

Ideation of Echo

Our process began with a series of brainstorming sessions based on the principles established at the start of the discussion about digital legacy. We proposed all kinds of ideas, ranging from intentionally terrible concepts representing things we wanted to avoid, to highly complex and almost fantastical ideas.

In all these ideas, we aimed to create an experience based on data collected from the person using the product. The challenges lay in the methods of data collection and the technology required to visualize this information.

We realized the challenges these ideas presented: the complex nature of loss, memory, security, and privacy. It became necessary to organize the common denominators of these ideas and map out the points of conflict and action we had identified during this exploration.

One of the most significant points of friction in these ideas was privacy and control over the deceased's information. It was essential to research and develop a process in which this responsibility and control could be delegated. Another critical issue was the storage or deletion of data.
