Ceramic Memory contains three group members: Marjolein Stassen, Pascalle de Jager and Emma Rijk. In the previous quarter Marjolein Stassen and Emma Rijk have been looking for ways to remember precious memories. The focus was on memories that are made with several people together while having food. Because the moments we are with friends is to good for being behind a camera or waiting for that 'perfect' moment we were thinking about an automatic memory saver.

In this semester we took our idea to the next level. By creating a new tool to save memories on cutlery, the memory does not only last but also reminds the person daily while eating from their cutlery. The tool we use is an camera obscura, which is a dark space (can be anything) with a hole in the surface to let a little light in. The ceramic object will be placed in the small dark space after a lightsensitive formula treatment. The dark space (box) can be placed on the table while having dinner with friends. If the light hole is opened during dinner, the picture will develop while having dinner. The picture of everyone having dinner will be visual on the object placed in the box, making the memory last forever without sacrificing precious time.
