:: Sometimes our dreams and memories may visit us was made for Faith [fictional name]. The form and digital potential of the piece refer to objects, memories, human connections and experiences, that Faith described as personally meaningful.
The traditional notion of a necklace is used as a backdrop for a jewellery object, which refers in part to traditional methods and materials of production. Digitally the jewellery can trigger a small number of silent film sequences, of personal significance to the particular wearer, on digital displays in the near radius to the neckpiece. These digital events may occur in a personal or public environment, but they will only happen rarely and in randomised succession. The object is proposed as a memory trigger to the experiences it reflects. The quietness of both the jewellery piece and the digital visits mean that the hustle and bustle of a location are not altered, only the imagery draws attention to the event, as such the digital visit may be missed entirely or glimpsed as it fades. Similarly there is an anonymity for the wearer; nothing identifies her/him as the catalyst for these events.
Although the imagery will have a particular meaning for the wearer, the films of a white horse in marshland and a pastry cutter making indentations in pastry are sufficiently ambiguous to open up interactions for other people who see them. The necklace has an ambiguity of function, there are no buttons, no obvious ways of controlling the digital aspects of the piece and in extension to this the necklace remains visually dormant, using other digital devices and displays as vessels for the visual interactions ::
