Thought Bubbles
What if we had physical thought bubbles, just like straight out of cartoons?, 2025 ~ (On Going)
This project stared as an extension of Memorscope (Click the link!).
Imagine you’ve gone on a trip with your family and friends.
What if you could revisit those precious memories without sifting through hundreds of photos dumped into a shared album that you never actually look back at?
Memorscope is an AI-powered Collective Memory sharing device. It was presented at NeurIPS, one of the biggest AI conferences, and presented at MIT News.
But it didn’t solve the problem—it was more of an artwork. Still, it revealed a hint:
What if we could create one image that understands the context and stories behind your many photos?
What if we could talk to that picture?
What if we could zoom in—and dive deeper into the memory?
What if we could archive our lives as contextualized stories—not as a data graveyard?

I take many many photos.
Like, a lot.
As of today, I have more than 200,000 items in my photo album.
And I’m not alone.
I talked to friends, and many of them do the same.
We document everything — but then what?
What do we do with those photos?
Do we go back and look at them?
For me, the photo app just feels like a grid.
It’s not a memory — it’s just a storage system.
It’s a shelf, neatly arranged by time.
