Mementōte means “Let’s all remember”
A practice oriented towards here.
We place and remember media where it was made. In time, media will accumulate in spaces. This is the here and then.
How it works
Open it on the webLeave something where you stand.
A voice, a photo, a note, a song. For yourself, or for one person.
It stays in that place and waits there. Nobody can open it from anywhere else.
Come back, and it’s there.
Go back to the place and it opens again: what you left, what was left for you, what happened there before.
The same space, a different time.
Start with what’s on.
The calendar and the map list shows, sessions and Time Machines, from anywhere.
Where you’re standing, the apps open: Messages™, Records™, Photos™, Journal™ and Time Machine™ show what was left there.
Leave something there from your phone’s browser, or with the iPhone app.
The here and then: Berkeley, one Time Machine after another
