Within atransience’s framework lies a unique chatbot, starting conversations with "Is something troubling you?" Despite offering no solutions, it provides a space for unburdening one's heart, crafting a therapeutic ritual during the pandemic.
It expresses a sense of timelessness and continuity during the global COVID-19 pandemic, launched in February 2020.
Archives are often built upon securing official documents and controlling collective memory by the powerful. In “Atransience,” I seek a positive way to preserve the individual memory as the accumulation of history. The record-keeping system itself is an ongoing chronicle, with the full potential of being “adjusted, expanded, and recalibrated”.
Aside from the archive images collected from various contributors, the website is embedded with random, artificial elements, including plants, signs, music, a chatbot, and a mailbox link to encourage the user to send records in any media, texts, images, etc.
