Smritis Memory Studio

Dig into a memory

Some memories wait years for the right question. At the Smritis Memory Studio a real person sits beside you and helps you remember, and what surfaces becomes something you can keep, share or give.

Not another AI.Technology only helps a real person remember.

The process

How a dig goes

  1. 01

    Dig

    A guided exploration of your memory, at the studio or at home with a Memory Dig Kit, by small, unexpected routes.

  2. 02

    Discover

    Together we look at what surfaced and decide what matters. If the dig is enough on its own, that’s ok too.

  3. 03

    Storify

    Keep a memory private, just as it surfaced, or shape it into a story to share.

  4. 04

    Produce

    A human director shapes the memories you choose into writing, audio, film, a live telling, or something else.

What you keep

Memories you can hold

Engrams

Byte-sized memory nuggets, each with words, photographs and a voice note.

Bottles

Engrams given a physical shape and kept in a bottle, and stored electronically so they never age.

Material memories

Made by our Artists Collective: a quilt from your mother’s sarees, a jewellery box from a grandmother’s tin soap box, bound letters, a watch set into a wall piece.

Why people come

  • To keep something alive
  • To understand something
  • To go back to something
  • To give something

A grandparent’s eightieth birthday, a parent’s fiftieth anniversary, a gift for a friend far away.
