If These Walls Could Speak
Memory Shelf

Red Oak, Stones, Arduino, RFID

33in X 5in X 5in

2011

This memory shelf features a rock storage basin on the left and a memory stone reader on the right. When a fresh stone is placed in the reader it asks the viewer to tell it a memory of theirs relating to a wall, which it records into the stone. If a stone is placed in the reader that already has a memory associated with it, the shelf simply plays back that memory for the viewer to hear.
