The Lives in Photographs
A genealogical visualization using pictures. The internet revolution has captured the information of the world of the past 10-30 years in an astonishingly quick manner. Much of that information has been contributed by individuals: the posting of thoughts, ideas, pictures, drawings, artwork, photographs etc in a cloud that can be accessed by anyone, at anytime provided they have the means. Only recently has there been a push by larger NGO's and companies to catalogue and preserve the information of the distant past. This information of the "past" (material not catalogued or created digitally) contains stories that are mirrors to our actions and reminders of our bond to the living and the dead without which there is a sense of disconnect from those we knew. Take for example the loss of a close relative. Many of the reminders we use to light our memories are persoanl artifacts the deceased left behind: a jacket, a letter, trinkets, books, pictures. In most instances many of these artifacts are not preserved unless they have specific sentimental or historical value. Many times they are donated, lost or at worst discarded. What we lose is the story of an individual and a family.
The Lives of Photographs is a project that hopes to pass along the story of an individual and his/her family through the visualization of the family's photographs, all of which in turn will be preseverd in a digital format.
