During Thursday's meeting we discussed the possibility of using an API to garner either twitter lines or Flickr photos, or a mash-up between both, containing the words 'remember' and 'forget' in their different cases & number *and maybe also memory/memories. The idea comprises building an interface that could display the harvesting of such data (maybe in real time?). Hence, what's left to do is imagine those visualisations that could work for the project so that the message is transmitted effectively.
But, what message?
Mei's first thoughts versed on depicting the most popular words matching forget and remember on a grid of 'linguistic mnemonics'. Suggestions were made to think of how to concile or juxtapose different sources of data, as text and images, into a multiformat grid. To achieve such task, we must develop manual visualisations of possible interfaces which could function as blueprints for the actual project. This visualisations must highlight which are the objectives behind the project, so by Thursday we can have a clearer notion of what do we want to achieve with this exercise.

During the meeting we mentioned Digg Labs as an example of a portal that explores diverse ways of visualising data.
