Peripheral Amnesia
PLAY
The player of this videogame assumes the role of a hoarder trying to keep memories of friends alive through the junk that surrounds them. The eventual fading of a friend's photograph is temporarily prevented by touching an item associated with them. These memories come out in Microsoft Anna's text-to-speech reading of status updates from Facebook users. The photographs of friends are appropriated from Facebook profile pictures, and as they are stopped from fading through an object-mediated peripheral awareness, they also become more distorted.
