This work explores the process of converting memory into data and translating that data back into a material form through a digital-to-physical interaction.

This project is an interactive experimental work in which a participant inputs a personal memory, the emotional characteristics of that memory are analyzed, and a color is extracted and physically generated through a liquid reaction that the participant can take away.

Participants respond to prompts about memory on a website, such as “a memory you do not want to lose” or “a scene that has stayed with you for a long time.”

The text is classified by AI according to its emotional state, based on an acid–neutral–alkaline spectrum.
Emotions such as anxiety, tension, and loss are interpreted toward the acidic end, while calmness, stability, and acceptance are interpreted toward the alkaline end. Nostalgia or neutral recollection is positioned closer to neutral.

The website provides an “Memory Portion Reciepe” with instructions on which numbered bottles to use and how to mix them. Each bottle contains a solution with different pH characteristics designed to produce color changes when combined.

Participants follow the receipe protocol and mix the solutions themselves. Through this process, a color is generated and treated as the physical translation of the emotional state of the memory.

The resulting color is placed into a small container that participants can take with them, functioning as both a physical sample and an artifact of the memory.
