Family Home 1.1

by Cindy Lin 



This new piece of work, Family Home 1.1, extends my previous photographic project, Familiar Stranger, where I explored family narratives and the myths and fallacies behind public and personal archives. Created for this exhibition, this new work specifically focuses on the ephemeral nature of home and memory through a mixed-media piece that integrates a digital photo collage with sounds from my remembered childhood in Taipei. As a sister piece to Family Home 1 in the Familiar Stranger project, it juxtaposes the physical absence of my childhood home against my vivid, but fading, unreliable memories.

The digital collage combines personal archive photos, Google street images, stock audios, YouTube video sound recordings, public sound datasets, and AI-generated visuals to reconstruct the now-diminished family home, where viewers can virtually walk through the virtual soundscape by navigating a 80s video game controller over a bird’s eye view of the home's layout.

Through this piece, I examine how technology can serve as both a medium and mediator in the preservation and reinterpretation of our past, filling in the gaps left by our faltering memories. It invites reflection on how our connections to place and time are constructed and maintained, highlighting the complex interplay between nostalgia, identity, and digital reconstruction in understanding our personal histories.
