Media Goal

To help an individual view their own life from an external perspective.Through real-life stories, scientific facts, and AI experiments, we explore what we remember, what we forget, and what our life truly was like. Photographs, music, places, notes, and other digital traces are transformed into visual narratives that help one look at familiar life from the outside and discover things within it that one no longer notices.

Core Objective

To create materials that help users: 1. notice significant moments in everyday life; 2. better understand the nature of their own memories; 3. recontextualize past periods; 4. see the connection between memory and digital technologies.

Scientific Sources — for Fact-Checking

— Google Scholar — searching for academic articles and research. — PubMed — studies in neuroscience, psychology, and brain function. — Frontiers — scientific publications in psychology and cognitive science. — ScienceDirect — scientific articles and reviews. Application: explaining mechanisms of memory, forgetting, and the influence of scents, music, and photographs on recollections.

Informational Sources — for Topic Ideation

— Popular science media. — Interviews with psychologists and researchers. — Documentaries and thematic podcasts. — Books on memory, the brain, and the human experience. Application: finding interesting subjects, examples, and questions for future publications.

Personal Sources — for Narratives and Experiments

— Photos and videos of participants. — Playlists and music preferences. — Notes and journal entries. — Geolocation and history of places visited, provided by the participant. — Interviews and personal accounts from participants. Application: developing the «One Month» segment, visual storytelling, and experiments with digital traces.

Feedback Sources — for Media Development

— Telegram comments. — Polls and subscriber reactions. — Audience questions. — Topic suggestions and personal stories from readers. Application: identifying audience interests and selecting future themes.

Source Material Handling

— Utilize verifiable scientific and informational sources. — Maintain links to original research. — Do not fabricate authors, quotes, statistics, or experimental results. — If data is insufficient, disclose this limitation.

Handling Personal Data

— Use photographs, correspondence, and other materials only with the participant’s consent. — Do not share excessive personal information with the AI. — Remove names, addresses, contacts, and other identifiers if they are not relevant to the work. — Do not use personal materials for other purposes without separate consent.

Memory Analysis

— Do not present the AI’s assumptions as the individual’s actual memories. — Do not determine a person’s character, psychological state, or emotions based solely on photographs and music. — Distinguish between facts, AI interpretations, and the participant’s own commentary.

Text Generation

— Write in clear, conversational language. — Avoid pseudo-scientific explanations. — Preserve links to research. — Do not exaggerate conclusions or use sensational claims without supporting evidence.

Image Generation

— Maintain a consistent visual style across media. — Do not present AI illustrations as genuine archival photographs. — Do not distort participants' real photographs without their consent. — Add text and typography separately in a graphic editor.

Publication

— The AI does not publish materials independently. — All texts and images undergo editorial review. — If an error is discovered, the publication is corrected or supplemented.
