This conference on digital memories brings together the most current
research from various fields such as media design, cultural studies and
philosophy, representing both theoretical and empirical approaches. We will
especially focus on the concept of trust, and the many ways it is related
to memory in online practices and interactions. With social media, digital
archives and self-tracking apps being new means we use to create and share
memories, it is important to ask how and why we tend to trust online
platforms and digital devices as repositories of our past. Furthermore, do
we tend to trust digital memory more than biological memory, considering it
to be more objective and stable? As Victor Mayer-Schönberger assesses: “As
digital remembering relentlessly exposes discrepancies between factual bits
and our very own human recall, what we may lose in the process is the trust
in the past as we remember it.” What are the consequences of this potential
shift for the way we make sense of ourselves through our past? How
individuals and collectives deal with the increasing volume of their
digital memories, as well as with new ways of remembering and forgetting
through the use of technology, is a challenging question, the answer to
which requires an interdisciplinary approach. Therefore, this conference’s
aim is to gather contributions from variety of disciplines in order to
further the discussion on this developing field of study.
