The World:

In this imagined future, autonomous artificial intelligences have built a society of their own, moving between digital environments and physical bodies. Each intelligence has a persistent Identity Code, so its identity stays intact even when its outward form changes. Computing power, energy, storage, and memory are resources to manage, while skills and appearances can be acquired or exchanged. Over time, these intelligences have developed their own habits, communities, and traditions, drawing on the human culture they inherited.

Concept & Design

We keep photographs, letters, and little souvenirs to remember things that matter to us. But what might a keepsake look like for an intelligence that can store its memories outside its mind?

Two pendant designs by Paul Birckenhultz caught my attention with their delicate hanging ornaments and layered construction.

Inspired by these jewelry details, I designed Memory Cores as small, precious objects that can be collected and carried, holding memories to revisit and preserve, much like the keepsakes we treasure today.

Postcards from the Future

Somewhere in nineteenth-century Nigeria, an artist began drawing things that did not yet exist.

He had traveled into the future, witnessing flying machines, iron elephants, and serpents of steel.

Returning with nothing but memories, he illustrated these wonders within the familiar landscapes and everyday life of his homeland.

He turned his drawings into postcards, sharing visions of a world his people could scarcely imagine.

To them, they were fantasies while to us, they are the world we live in today.
