"Created by Valère Zen Ruffinen at ECAL, Memoria is an experimental photo album application that visualizes the fading of human connections: as the frequency of shared moments decreases, the people in the photo album gradually disappear. Memoria explores the fragility of memory, and how we maintain - or allow to fade - our connections through it. Through a process of gradual disappearance, the people in the photos slowly fade if no new memories shared with them are added."
"When the photo is taken, Memoria analyzes it to identify the people in it using a face detection algorithm. Each person is then cropped out and grouped together in a shared mask. This mask is sent, along with the original image, to an external Magic Studio API, which processes it and returns a cleaned-up image with the individuals removed. Over time, Memoria gradually alters each photo based on the frequency of shared memories with the people appear in it."
Memoria is an experimental web photo album that visualizes fading human connections by gradually removing people from photos when shared moments decrease. When a photo is taken, a face detection algorithm identifies individuals, crops them into a shared mask, and sends the mask plus original image to Magic Studio API for cleanup. Each detected person receives a time-based value that decays weekly; visual noise progressively obscures their area at thresholds until they vanish. Users must add new shared moments to restore visibility. The app uses HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, Three.js, and switched from ClipDrop to Magic Studio for better results.
